Wonderful Wednesday is an exciting, well-supervised program for children ages 4 through 6th grade. Offered in a vacation Bible school - like format, Wonderful Wednesday offers children a chance to sing, dance, play, perform and learn about God's word, the Bible. Crafts and snacks are usually a part of the plan for each week, as are monthly presentations by students in our regular Sunday morning worship services.

Youth meet in a friendly, supportive environment where it's 'OK' to relax, chill, and belong.

Scout Troop 312, a very active sponsored auxiliary of Green River United Methodist Church, has been recognized widely for the excellence of its program. As part of the only interdenominational troop in Green River, scouts in Troop 312 learn a variety of skills, and have an opportunity to earn Eagle Scout status - something a number of members have done. Very active in both the broader community and in Scouting programs, Troop 312 helps to build boys into responsible men.
Age-Based Ministries
One kind of ministry at GRUMC is based on the age or life-stage of the person being served. This kind of ministry is especially appropriate for children and youth. It is important to know, though, that children and youth also participate in many of the all-church opportunities available. In fact, we are very pleased to include both children and youth in other activities, giving them an opportunity to learn, grow and serve hand-in-hand with people of all ages.
