Making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
Ruach: Youth Ministries
 
 
 
 
Our Heart & Mission
          Our mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.  We also desire to impart a vision for ministry and to inspire a passion for living as the body of Christ.  Our students and leaders join in ministry by helping others, building friendships, and doing whatever it takes to carry the cross together.
  
Sunday School
     We meet at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings in the youth room for doughnuts before beginning our lesson time.  Our lessons are derived from Scripture and focus on how our youth can grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.  We also have a time of fellowship to play games including Foos Ball, Air Hockey, and Wii games!
 
Wednesday Evening:  Ruach Youth Group
     Our Youth Group includes students in grades seven through twelve and meets on Wednesday evenings.  The Youth Praise Band, 98:4, rehearses from 5:00-5:45 p.m.  The Ruach Youth Group meets from 5:30-7:00 p.m.  The activities vary weekly from worship to recreation and guest speakers, but every week is a wonderful opportunity for fellowship and faith development.  We gather for supper each week and 5:30 p.m., and friends are always welcome!  Unless noted otherwise, we always begin and end events in the Youth Room (room 216).
                                                                                                  
Wednesday Youth Activities
     On Wednesday evenings we give our youth the opportunity to serve with our Wacky Wednesday Children's Ministries by helping with our Children's Choirs and helping with Children's Classes.  The schedule is as follows:
 
       4:00-5:30 -- Children's Choirs and Children's Classes
       5:30-6:00 -- Wacky Wednesday Meal
 
Monthly  Mission
     Each month we go out to be in mission to our community.  In the last year we have reached out to people in our community by visiting Sequoyah Manor Nursing Home, visiting homebound members of our church, collecting food for Catholic Charities Food Bank, and by cleaning a park and roadsides in Sallisaw. 
 
Get Connected
     The Youth Group at FUMC Sallisaw offers teens the opportunity to connect in a setting of Spiritual growth and discipleship.  Jennifer Hart, our Director of Youth Ministries, leads by example in guiding students into a closer relationship with God.  Come "get connected" in an atmosphere of Christian love and devotion.
