May 12th

Each year beginning in August, John Wesley UMC invites all 8th–10th graders who are not yet full members of the church to participate in our Confirmation Class. This year, we were blessed to walk alongside eight youth as they explored what it means to follow Christ and be part of the church family.

After completing the class, each student has the opportunity to join John Wesley as a full member, affirming their faith and commitment to Christ through their prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.

We are incredibly proud of these confirmands and their decision to take this important step in their faith journey. Please join us in celebrating and supporting them as they continue to grow in their relationship with God and their connection to our church community.

Every summer, we design a special Servant Tour t-shirt to celebrate all the awesome mission work and community projects happening through JDub Youth. It’s more than just a shirt — it’s a symbol of how we show up, serve, and shine God's love in the world!

To make sure every youth gets the right size, we need your help! It takes less than a minute — just click the link below to share your info and your child’s t-shirt size.

Don’t wait — we want everyone to have one as we rep JDub all summer long!

This Sunday, May 18th, we invite you to join us as we celebrate our High School Graduates!

At 9:45am, all youth and their families are encouraged to bring a breakfast dish to share for a potluck breakfast in the gym at John Wesley. It’s a great chance to gather in fellowship and kick off a special day together.

Before worship, we’ll take group pictures with the graduates at 10:30am, so grads—don’t forget your cap and gown!

Then during the 11:00am worship service, we’ll honor the Class of 2025 as they are recognized and celebrated by our church family. We encourage all graduates to wear their cap and gown for this meaningful moment.

The Class of 2025 has been such an important part of our JDub Youth family, and we are so proud of who they are and all they’re becoming. Come reflect, connect, and cheer on our grads as they step into this exciting next chapter. We can’t wait to see you there!

On Sunday, May 18th, we’re hosting a special night just for our high school students called The Last Dinner. This will be a meaningful time for the students to gather, share a meal together, and reflect on what youth ministry has meant to them over the years. It’s a chance for them to connect with one another, celebrate their growth, and look back on the memories they’ve made. The meal will take place from 6–7pm, and we encourage all high school youth to join us for this special time!

Salkehatchie Summer Service is an amazing opportunity for youth ages 14 and up. Each week during the summer, groups of youth and adult leaders gather in different parts of South Carolina to work on homes. Most youth say that this week is life-changing and has a major impact on their faith.

John Wesley has participated in different camps over the years. You are encouraged to find a few friends and register for a camp that fits your summer schedule. Two of the main camps John Wesley has attended are the Edisto Camp (July 5-12) and the Dalzell Camp (July 19-26).
