Children and Youth

Children, Youth and Family Ministry

Elk River United Methodist Church seeks to enrich the lives of children, youth and families though Christ. We are dedicated to supporting caring adults and discipleship in daily life.

We have both in person, outdoor, and at home options. Please email Amber at youth@elkriverumc.org for details or fill out the form below and we will reach out to you.
