I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am Dawn, the youth director at St. Stephen UMC.I get the awesome privilege of leading the youth ministry at St. Stephen. We not only help youth connect with Christ, but help them find direction in life. We build relationships and learn to work together through games and activities. We not only teach about Christ and how he wants us to live, but also to work hard to succeed in school and work toward their dreams. There are youth that for the first time in several years made first quarter honor roll. Youth coming to youth group find it a time to get help with homework, get advice on family and friend issues, or a time just to have an adult listen without being critical. They have adults around them that accept them as they are even when they mess up, are always there to pray with them and for them, play games with them, that make mistakes, will answer any question without being critical or laughing, and can take being laughed at by the youth when they do something a little goofy. Most importantly the adult team at St. Stephen shares and teaches God’s love and message. It is shared and learned not only through the lessons and messages but in how the team accepts the youth just as they are.
