Overview

The Conference Council on Youth Ministries (CCYM) is the decision making body of the conference youth ministries. Its purpose is to make connections with local churches and districts with conference youth events, to organize forms of ministry, evangelism, discipleship, and worship beyond the local church, to develop new forms of ministry, and to serve as the official voice of the youth in the Wisconsin Conference of the UMC.

The Mission of the Wisconsin United Methodist Youth is to promote the ministry of GRASE ("God Reaches All Students Everywhere):

  • G = God - WORSHIP (We seek to worship God)
  • R = Reach - EVANGELISM (We strive to reach students for Jesus Christ)
  • A = All - DISCIPLESHIP (We seek to empower all young people in ministry)
  • S = Students - FELLOWSHIP (We seek to bring students together for God)
  • E = Everywhere - we find MINISTRY (We seek to be in mission and ministry everywhere)

Sheltered-Reality

Peshtigo United Methodist Church (501 French St.) is an official training site for Sheltered-Reality (SR). SR is a non-profit drumming organization.

Some people golf, some kids do sports, others 4-H, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, etc., and some people drum. Literally anyone willing to learn the drums (timbale drums) can join SR since all skills are taught by the instructors. Membership spans all ages from 4 - 76 years old. Teamwork and a commitment to help others succeed are expected, with rewards including increased self confidence, strengthened abilities and new friends - all while having a great time playing the drums! Presently, drum practice at Peshtigo United Methodist Church is every Sunday afternoon from 3- 6 p.m.; we have 11 members (so far).

For further information, call Pastor Jean Waldron at 715-582-4388 or 715-582-4944. The SR website is: www.sheltered-reality.org.
