Students are an integral part of the happenings at First United Methodist Church, and we look forward to partnering with you to help the children in your life become Jesus followers.
Impact Student Ministries
We’re excited to announce that our youth gatherings now take place on Sundays at 4:00 PM! What was once a youth-focused event has now expanded to welcome all community members, church members, friends, and family. Each Sunday features a different themed event, creating a unique and engaging experience every week.
Additionally, our Donuts and Discussion Youth Bible Study for Grades 6-12 continues on Sundays from 10:00 to 11:00 AM. It’s a great opportunity for young people to dive deeper into faith while enjoying some delicious donuts!
Now, I’d like to let Brad tell you a little more about himself and share his heart for this ministry.
My name is Brad Schafer, and I am thrilled to be the new Impact Ministries director. My family and I have lived in El Dorado since 2009, and my son Thomas and I have been attending church here since 2016. I am a former teacher, with 22 years in the classroom, and I’m now embarking on my next adventure as a transition specialist at South Central Mental Health Center. I’m looking forward to getting to know each of you better, and I’m excited about the opportunity to help our youth grow in faith and community. We can’t wait to spend time with you all and watch our program flourish together!
