K.I.D.S - Kids in Dedicated Service Being a teenager is tough. It seems like everything in your life is changing. Wouldn’t it be nice if you or your teen could find a group of other teens experiencing the same situations? Wouldn’t it be even better if you or your teen could find a group like that in a Christian environment like the one at Utica United Methodist Church. Our Youth Ministries program is open to all 7th through 12th graders that want to hang out with the right crowd and do the right things.
Statement of ministry for Youth fellowship:
"For each youth to be presented with the opportunity to come to a saving knowledge of Christ in a way that leads to eternal salvation."
"For each youth to be presented with the opportunity to grow in their love, faith, and servant hood for Christ."

UUMC WOMEN
It's probably a gift from God. Women seem to have an easier time communicating with each other than men do. At Utica United Methodist Church, we have several ministries designed specifically for women to gather together to talk, to help, to edify and to encourage one another.
It doesn't matter if you are married or single, if you're a mother or a daughter, if you're young or .... younger, you are welcome to join the women of our church to get to know God and each other a little better.
Some of our women's activities include:
United Methodist Women
(monthly potluck and meeting, except summer)
Ladies' Circles: Dorcas, Faith and Harmony
(monthly meetings, except summer)
Senior Care Ministry
Ladies Night Out
(1st Friday monthly at various local restaurants) top of page

UUMC MEN
Sometimes men just need to hang out with other men-to eat, to talk about work, to worship God. At Utica United Methodist Church, we provide many opportunities for men to gather together and communicate with each other and with the Lord.
If you're looking for another father to talk to about fathering issues or another husband to talk to about marital issues, this is the place. If you want to meet some new friends in a relaxed, Christian setting, this is the place. Or, if you want to share the good word of Jesus Christ with other men, this is the place.
Some of our Men's activities include:
United Methodist Men
(last Sunday of month breakfast meeting)
Annual Golf Outing
Senior Care Ministry

| 1 John 1:1-7 |
That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of life (and the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare unto you the life, the eternal [life], which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us); that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you also, that ye also may have fellowship with us: yea, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his
Son Jesus Christ: and these things we write, that our joy may be made full. And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. |
