Open Door United Methodist Churches Youth Group is a safe and welcoming place for youth (grades 6-12) to explore their faith. A Confirmation Class usually takes place once a year for youth wishing to officially join the church.
Open Door United Methodist Churches Youth Group (School Year)
The youth group gathers on Sunday afternoons from 12:30 to 2 p.m. at alternating United Methodist Churches within the Salem/Keizer area, in a fun and supportive group to practice living out our faith through fellowship, worship, studying scriptures, praying for each other and reaching out in mission. Check their Facebook page for their monthly location. We meet weekly for good food, challenging discussions, fun games, and community service projects.

Mission Projects
Each year the youth are given the opportunity to spend a week away on a mission trip and we participate in the United Methodist camping program both in the summer and winter. We would love to have you join us.
Saturdays of Service – Once a quarter, we gather together to go out to serve our community! Dates and activities can be found here.
Many other small mission projects come up throughout the year. Soup kitchens and Marion/Polk Food Share are two examples of this. Any youth are encouraged and welcome to participate. For more information and upcoming events, check out the youth’s Facebook page.
