YOUTH MINISTRIES
All students grades 7th-12th are welcome at our youth group - no matter who you are, where you’ve been, or what questions you’re carrying. We meet for Sunday school at 10:00 am in the Underground (located in the basement) covering a variety of subjects and digging deep in faith conversations. During the school year we reconvene in the afternoon for Testament Choir practice (which helps lead in our contemporary worship) and then gather for games followed by a snack supper, youth led worship and small group discussions lead by our amazing team of youth leaders. During the summer, our youth have the opportunity to travel via choir tour, mission trip, and the occasional Methodist youth conference.

MEET PASTOR LONI FANCHER
Director of Youth Ministries
Loni Fancher is our Director of Student Formation. She spends her time helping teenagers ask big questions, discover their gifts, share their stories, and fall in love with Jesus. She’s passionate about justice, intentional and reflective faith, and creating a church where everyone can bring their whole, wonderfully weird selves. When she’s not at church, she’s probably at a student’s concert, play, meet, or game. In her free time, she enjoys reading, hiking, hanging out with her beagle – Desdemona, watching movies or plays, doing a deep dive into whatever pop culture nonsense the teenagers are currently obsessed with, or planning unnecessarily elaborate youth events. Loni holds a BA in English from Oklahoma Baptist University, an MA in Global Leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary, and is currently pursuing her Masters in Theological Studies from Brite Divinity School while she navigates the ordination process to become a Deacon in the United Methodist Church. She is a Licensed Local Pastor, a certified ministry coach, and serves on the board for Women in Youth Ministry.
