Youth Leadership


How to Become a United Methodist Youth Fellowship (UMYF) Counselor
Decatur First UMC’s UMYF group offers middle and high school-age worshippers and their friends a place to find community and fellowship in an environment that promotes Christian values and attitudes. A vital and integral component of the UMYF program is the adult leaders who commit to serving as friends, mentors, and positive examples in the lives of these students.
