A Place to Belong

Middle and high school can be a lot.

Questions. Pressure. Friendships. Identity.

Youth Group at Zellwood UMC is a place where students can show up as they are, build real friendships, and begin to discover who God is shaping them to be.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t even have to be sure what you believe.

You’re welcome here.

What a Sunday Looks Like

Each week includes a mix of connection, fun, and meaningful conversation:

  • Lunch together (because food matters)
  • Games and time to relax
  • Honest conversations about life and faith
  • Teaching that connects Scripture to real life

We keep things engaging, interactive, and grounded in the everyday experiences students are actually living.

What We Care About

We’re not just trying to fill time—we’re trying to form people.

At Zellwood UMC, we want students to:

  • Experience God’s love in a real and personal way
  • Grow in their faith at their own pace
  • Build lasting friendships with others
  • Discover their purpose and how they can make a difference

We believe God is already at work in their lives—and we want to help them notice and respond.

For Parents

We know trust matters.

  • Our leaders are committed, caring, and background-checked
  • We create a safe and welcoming environment for every student
  • We communicate clearly so you always know what’s happening

If you ever have questions, we’d love to connect with you.

Your First Visit

Walking into something new can feel intimidating—but we’ll help make it easy.

  • Students can jump in any week—no sign-up required
  • Our team will help them get connected right away
  • They’ll be welcomed, not singled out
