Welcome to the Northridge UMC Youth Group, where we strive to create a supportive and welcoming community for young people to grow in their faith and build lasting friendships. Our group meets on Sunday evenings once or twice a month, from 6-7:30 PM. We are proud to have Jordan Clawson as our youth leader. He is committed to helping young people explore their faith and serve our community. He has a few young adults that help him to care for our youth. Together they serve in the community, lead worship, have youth events such as Rally Day, Parents Night Out, NUMC Easter Egg Hunt, Rock-A-Thon, Christmas caroling, and a bonfire to end the year. These events are not only fun but also help our youth group members develop important life skills such as leadership, teamwork, and communication.
At youth meetings, the majority of the time goes to upcoming events, plans, and fundraisers. We believe in the importance of service, so we dedicate a portion of our meetings to studying the Bible and doing fun faith learning activities. Our goal is to provide a well-rounded experience that combines faith, friendship, and community service.
Jordan Clawson is a Student Respiratory Therapist at Dayton Children's Hospital and is currently pursuing a master's degree at Boise State University online. He has been a member of Northridge United Methodist Church his entire life and was part of the youth group for seven years. Jordan is passionate about helping young people build a solid foundation of faith while having fun and making a positive impact in our community.
If you're interested in joining our youth group, we would love to welcome you into our community. Our youth group is open to young people from all walks of life, and we believe that everyone has something valuable to contribute. Whether you're new to the faith or have been a lifelong believer, our youth group is a safe and supportive space to explore your faith and build lasting friendships.
At Northridge UMC Youth Group, we believe that forgiveness, belief, and creation are the keys to a fulfilling life. We encourage our members to forgive their younger selves, believe in their current selves, and create their future selves. If you have any questions or would like more information about our youth group, please don't hesitate to contact us. Jordan can be reached at (937) 215-4958 or clawsonjordan@icloud.com. We look forward to hearing from you and hope to see you at our next meeting.
