SJA UMC Youth Ministry 8th to 12th Grade
Go Farther. Serve Deeper. Be Transformed.
This summer in July 2026, the SJA Youth Ministry stepped out in faith and traveled to the beautiful highlands of Guatemala for a powerful, life-changing mission trip. In partnership with ACD Guatemala, our youth dove firsthand into sustainable community development, cross-cultural ministry, and impactful service projects.
True faith knows no borders.
This was more than just a trip, it was an invitation for our young people to put their faith into motion, bring hope and love to neighbors afar, and return home with a transformed vision of what it meant to serve the world.
“Bringing faith, love, and community spirit wherever we go.” The Mission Team sends a big thank to you all for offering your support and prays to help empower the 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!
