Jr High - Grades 7 - 8
The mission of TREK Youth Ministry is to transform youth into fully submitted followers of Christ. We will do this through worshiping together, personal devotions, connecting in real life small groups, loving others with the love of Christ through acts of service and missions, and developing good habits that will lead to healthy lifestyles as temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19).
Our Vision is to win Darke County's Teens for Christ. We're going to do this in two ways: 1) Through Cool Events to draw the youth of our church and community in and 2) Through weekly gatherings to dig deep and allow the Holy Spirit to work the transformation into their lives!
On this page you will find out about our Cool Events and our Weekly Gatherings, as well as other things happening in our Youth Ministry.

Youth entering grades 7, 8 & 9 will have the opportunity to fly over the water on a zipline; ride the waves on Lake Erie; get splattered with paintballs; play mud volleyball; sleep under the stars; explore God’s creation; rock out with the Camp WILDER Band; serve others on a mission trip and make life-long friends. One thing remains constant at every camp at EUM Church… Jesus Christ! The salvation that He brings is the centerpiece of everything we do! Campers will enjoy worship, tent revival style on a hill overlooking the Lake twice a day with lessons that are age-appropriate and focus on Jesus.
