The purposes of Youth Ministry at St. Matthew's UMC are:
- Calling youth to be disciples of Jesus Christ and helping them mature in faith.
- Developing a balanced program of worship, Bible study, music, mission, education, and fellowship, that will enable each youth to recognize and develop their own God-given talents.
- Nurturing care and supportive relationship between the youth and adults.
- Involving youth in a variety of mission and service ministries.
- Offering a wide range of opportunities for youth to participate fully in the life of the church, and connecting them with United Methodist Church.
- Strengthening relationships among the youth, enhancing a community for fellowship, friendship, fun, and personal growth.
- Reaching out to youth and their families at home, school, and in the community
