Youth Ministries
Our Vision for Youth Ministry
For WUMC to be a place to belong, a place to know God loves you, and a place to hear God calling you to a life of loving service for the transformation of the world.
Worship, conversation, study, prayer and serving others are our main tools for accomplishing that vision. 
Sunday morning worship gatherings and Youth Group are the main times and places those tools are practiced.
Youth Ministry 2025
We are participating in CROP Walk, Sleep Out Saturday, and Feed My Starving Children.
Join us for our research project into grants to make the church more ADA accessible and making holiday cards, too!
All students in 7th-12th grades are welcome in Woodridge UMC’s Youth Ministry activities.

Safe Sanctuaries
Our church is a Safe Sanctuaries congregation. That means we walk the talk of keeping kids safe, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Woodridge UMC Hope Scholarship
The Scholarship Committee would like to announce the creation of the Hope Scholarship.  It is to be awarded to young, active members of Woodridge UMC who are continuing their education upon completing high school.  The scholarship will help our young adults with the high cost of continuing their education at a trade school, college, or professional school. Students are eligible to receive a one-time scholarship of $1000.  Only a small number of scholarships will be given out each year.  The applications are available here.

Other Ministries
Children'S Ministries
Opportunities for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary students to learn stories of faith in age-appropriate ways. We want children of all ages to know they are safe, to know they are loved, and to know they are an active part of a larger story.
SMALL GROUPS
Opportunities to grow in faith as we get to know others and come to be known by others. We learn with each other and we learn from each other as we explore together how to live the way of Jesus in the world today.
