Pastor Philip shares his perspectives on the confirmation process and how we live into those vows at JCUMC.

Talking to your teens about faith can be a daunting task. But the numbers are clear, if your teen attends every youth group, Sunday School class, mission trip, and retreat hosted by the church, that totals around 156 hours spent in youth group a year. That is a small percentage of the total 8,760 hours in a year. Most parents will have significant influence (positive or negative) in their child's life simply because of the amount of time spent together. The youth leaders at JCUMC are here to help parents engage in faith conversations with their teens. Join us as we delve into various topics and explore methods of communication to strengthen relationships and encourage our future leaders in the ways of Jesus. It all starts with small talk.&nbsp;
