Mauldin United Methodist Church youth are called to believe, to belong, to grow and to live daily in Christ. We are called to reach all youth, not just those whose parents attend our congregation. Our church should never be satisfied until all people are part of His church. In Proverbs 22:5 it says, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it"(NKJV). As a church we believe each youth is a gift from God and should have the opportunity to be redeemed and to be a part of the fun and fellowship that comes from the church in the name of Jesus Christ.

Youth Mission Statement

Mauldin Methodist Student Ministries connects youth, young adult, and adults through networks of fellowship, Bible study, service, and love--as ministers of the faith of Jesus Christ.
