Youth Ministry & RIPP

Salem UMC is passionate about raising up the next generation of young people who will impact the world. Our work is to encourage youth in the Council Bluffs area to passionately pursue Jesus Christ, to develop a life-changing relationship with Him, and to share their relationship to those they encounter.

Sunday, February 14th - Service Project

Join us as we head to help out at the Micah House. We will leave Salem at 2:30 pm and return about 5:15 pm.

Sunday, February 21st - Rally in Praise and Prayer

As we are getting into Lenten season we will be joining the church wide study of the Max Lucado book "3:16 The Numbers of Hope". Both the Jr. High and Sr. High will be splitting up into small groups to discuss who is God, why does God love us, why Jesus died for us, what it means to believe, what eternal life is and what difference salvation makes. There is a suggested donation of $10 to help cover the cost of the book but all youth are welcome to take part regardless. It will be a wonderful study that is specifically geared towards youth!

Friday, February 26th - 27th - Dare 2 Share Conference

Those youth that have signed up will be heading to Lincoln, NE to take part in the Dare 2 Share Youth Conference. We will leave Salem UMC parking lot at 4:00 pm and arrive back on Saturday at 10:30 pm. Please pray for this to be a safe and God felt experience for everyone going. This is an excitement filled worship, skits, bands, and speaker weekend with thousands of other youth from the area.

Sunday, February 28th - Sunday, March 28th

We will continue in our small group discussions over the church wide study of 3:16.
