Aubrey Pieper is our Children’s and Youth Ministries Coordinator. She often brings the children's message during the 10:45 service on Sunday morning. Aubrey is assisted by dedicated volunteers who help with Sunday School and special programming, including the “March to the Manger” at Christmastime.

During Sunday School time, children in Kindergarten through 6th grade will be exploring the Bible together in the Art Room upstairs in Fellowship Hall. Youth from 7th through 12th grade meet in the Youth Room downstairs. On Sunday afternoon, from 1 – 2:30 pm, the youth FORCE meets at the church to explore the Bible in more depth and have some good Christian fun.

NEW! Beginning Feb 2, 2012 a new Junior High Youth Group - PROPEL! FORCE will be designed for our Senior High youth. Read more at Lebanon First UMC expands youth ministry
