SJA UMC Youth Ministry 8th to 12th Grade

Go Farther. Serve Deeper. Be Transformed.

ACD UNESCO Guatemala Youth Mission Trip 2026_edited.jpg

This summer, the SJA Youth Ministry is stepping out in faith and traveling to the beautiful highlands of Guatemala for a powerful, life-changing mission trip. In partnership with ACD Guatemala, our youth will dive firsthand into sustainable community development, cross-cultural ministry, and impactful service projects.

True faith knows no borders. 

This is  more than just a trip, it is an invitation for our young people to put their faith into motion, bring hope and love to our neighbors afar off, and return home with a transformed vision of what it means to serve the world.

“Bringing faith, love, and community spirit wherever we go.” The Mission Team will travel July 12th  through 19th and we ask if you can offer your support and prays to help empower our youth on this incredible journey!

Are you wondering what goes on with SJA Youth? How do I understand what’s going on in the world and my life? What is the relationship between religion and film? Would Jesus have been Team Hailey or Team Selena? Send Brendan your questions and converse about the serious and silly things of faith!
