Children, Youth and Family Ministry
Elk River United Methodist Church seeks to enrich the lives of children, youth and families in the church and surrounding communities. We value the use of age appropriate curriculum and Biblical concepts so that all people understand the love of Christ.
During the COVID-10 social distancing policies, all children, youth and family ministry has been moved to an online platform with the use of Zoom. Please email Amber at youth@elkriverumc.org for details or how to participate.
