Youth

Hey! My name is Hank Hilliard and I am the "youth guy" here at the General Board of Discipleship. I am the newest member of the Young People’s Ministries Team. I am so excited about getting to serve the youth of the United Methodist Church. On this page you will find information about what is going on in the church. You will also find some fun stories about youth loving, serving, and caring in our world today. I want to hear your stories and ideas! Please send these to me at hhilliard@gbod.org or find me on facebook!

Youth 2011 Sites and Dates!



You think you are ordinary? Think again!!

Throughout the Bible, God chooses seemingly ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
The Story of God is filled with unlikely heroes. The story is still being written, and you have a part to play.
God wants to do extraordinary things through YOU.

YOUTH 2011, more than a gathering
It's a community to know that you are not alone.

YOUTH 2011, more than a concert
It's a communion with our extraordinary God.

YOUTH 2011, more than an event
It's a commission to change your life and your world.

Come by and See Us!

We recently had a middle school group from Salem in Ladue UMC drop by to say "Hi!"  They came from their home just outside St. Louis to Nashville on a mission trip.  Before they headed out to spend several days serving, we got to spend a few minutes getting to know each other.

Are you going to be coming to Nashville?  If so, please come by and see us!  We want to meet you!  You can draw on our huge dry erase wall, and we will load you up with tons of fun freebies!

We love pop-in visits, but if you know ahead of time that you will be in town, email Hank at hhilliard@gbod.org to let us know when you will be here so we can plan for your visit and have the goody bags stocked full for you!
