BUMY (Bethel United Methodist Youth) is open to all youth in grades 6-12…you do not have to be a member of the church to participate in our activities. Typically, we follow the below schedule. But keep an eye on our calendar and our Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, for information on special events and outings that vary from month to month.
Currently, our Youth Group is led by a group of volunteers from the church who enjoy working with the youth.
We meet on Sundays from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. This time is spent doing a devotion, having fellowship time together, playing games, and doing typical youth activities, like Destination Unknown.
On the first Sunday of the month, we meet with the Missions committee for motel outreach. We gather at Bethel to collect the donations and visit a couple of Warrenton area motels.
Volunteers make BUMY possible. We rely on parents and other adults from the church to support our events and meetings. If you are interested in helping out or are looking for a way to get involved with the youth, contact the church office.

Activities
Is that it? Nope!
We do more than bible study and mission work! We are always looking for new activities to try out in the community. We have lake days, trips to D.C., and weekend retreats! We are also connected to other churches within the Warrenton area and churches in our district to participate in activities with! If there is something you want to do, suggest it to the Youth Leaders, and we will see what we can do!
Fundraising
Together, as a group, we raise money to fund our missions and activities.
