Philadelphia Youth Group

At Philadelphia United Methodist Church, our Philadelphia Youth Group, known as PYG, is a ministry for 6th through 12th graders. PYG strives to make every youth feel welcomed and encourages them to grow in their knowledge and love of God through worship, service, and fellowship.

PYG offers middle and high school youth a safe and fun environment where they can explore their faith relationships with Jesus Christ, their peers, and adult mentors.

Our Mission

To Make Disciples of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of the World by helping youth and their families worship in love, grow in love and serve in love.

As youth learn what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and learn to make Disciples for the transformation of the world, we offer them guidance and support through the following opportunities to Worship, Grow and Serve.

Foundational Beliefs of PYG Ministries

EVERY TEEN MATTERS

Every teen is created and loved by God. We want teens to not only know who God is, but to know who they are because of God’s love for them. Nothing they do (or don’t do) can change that truth.

WHAT HAPPENS AT
HOME MATTERS

God has designed the home to be the primary place where faith, love, and values are lived out and modeled for teens. We want to empower parents and grandparents to help their teens grow in their faith and establish their own faith identity as they grow into adulthood.

EVERY FAMILY MATTERS

We believe that every family is a part of a bigger story that God is telling. And every family has the potential to reflect God’s love to the world. At PUMC, we want all families to feel that they belong.

WHAT HAPPENS AROUND FAMILY MATTERS

Raising healthy teens requires a community of people who care about them and surround their family with love and support. We work to create mentoring connections between teens and caring adults, while cultivating a community of friendship and support for parents and families.
