Youth Group

There is always something going on for the youth at Mequon United Methodist Church!  Our year consists of mission trip fundraisers, youth groups, super awesome youth services, and just hanging out.  We welcome ALL senior high youth to join in the fun!

My goal as youth director is to provide our kids with a safe, fun and loving environment where they can have an awesome time and grow in their faith.  Feel free to contact me, Olivia Peters, for any introduction you may need.

Youth Mission Trip 2016: Red Lake Indian Reservation, MN

When you turn off the High Line (U.S. Highway 2) onto Minnesota Highway 89, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a whole new world… For one thing, you’re surrounded by a dense forest.. And for another, you’ll be stepping into the culture of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa people. The Red Lake Chippewa are fiercely proud of their homeland, and remain one of the few tribes in the country who have refused to sell or give up any land. But it is remote and undeveloped here. Over 40% of the population lives below the poverty level. Unemployment is 60%. The people who can find work generally make right around the minimum wage. Time and time again tribal leaders have expressed their hope groups like yours will come to serve. You are truly wanted here. Not just for the work you’ll do, but for the hope you’ll bring as well. Many homes are old, weathered, and in great need of maintenance.  Our group will work hard repairing homes for people in need, while experiencing the amazing power of community to accomplish God's work.
