The church devotes considerable energy toward nurturing the Christian faith of its congregants and producing Christian servants in the community. These efforts regularly go beyond Sundays, the front doors of the church, Pinehurst village limits, Moore County, the state of North Carolina and the United States.
At Pinehurst United Methodist Church, we’re aggressively and enthusiastically directing those efforts toward the up-and-coming future leaders in the church.
Fun: From the regular Sunday night gatherings for dinner and games, to the cookouts and frisbee tournaments and pumpkin bowling and lakefront adventures, this is arguably the most visible and most popular aspect of participating in Youth Group. Abby said her family didn’t start coming to PUMC until well after she started – and decided to stick with -- youth group. Middle-schooler Rebecca says she and her family do not attend PUMC. But she enjoys youth group. “I like youth group a lot,’’ she says. “They’re always making things fun. And everybody is so nice. It’s kind of like a family.”
