Youth Ministries
A “grove” is a small wooded area that is cultivated and has no choking undergrowth. The youth group at High Street United Methodist is a grove. We spend time together cultivating our faith and our relationships so that sin has no chance of taking root in our lives. Our focus verse that completely embodies this sentiment is John 15:4, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.” We want to abide in brotherly love with one another and abide in God’s love and law. The flip side of this coin is that not only are we abiding in this love, but we’re also branching out in it. We want to work for and give love to the city of Muncie and bear good fruit.

Programs
The Grove Sunday School Classes
Every Sunday we offer a Sunday school class for youth from 6th grade - 12th grade. During Sunday school youth discuss and learn how to make their faith a part of their every day life.
Youth meet in the Mezzanine at 9:45 a.m.
The Grove Youth Group
On Sunday nights we meet from 6 - 8pm for a time of fellowship, worship and a biblically based discussion.
S.A.F.
S.A.F. stands for Seek And Find which is a community youth worship service. On the 1st Sunday of every month from October to May we meet at Riverside UMC. SAF is from 4pm - 7pm. Youth have time to play games, get a drink from the coffee bar and spend time with friends. Dinner is served and following dinner is the worship service. During the worship service youth hear a relevant message from a youth speaker or a local youth leader. Following worship youth divide into smal groups to discuss the night's message. Every S.A.F. has a specific theme.
The Clearing
The Clearing is a monthly hangout time for all of the youth. On the 3rd Friday of each month we meet from 6:00pm - 9:00pm for a night of fun with friends, food and games.
