Parents

Parents are an important part of the ministries at Cookeville FUMC.

Opportunities to Serve Our Youth
The Youth Ministry at First is gearing up for an exciting fall as the students have already headed back to school. Our ministry is growing, creating great opportunities for you to get connected and make an impact in the lives of youth and the life of the church for generations to come. If are willing to serve in any of the areas listed below, contact Krislyn Durham (krislyn@cookevillefumc.org) or Brandon Baxter (brandon@cookevillefumc.org), or phone: 931-526-2177.

United Methodist Youth Fellowship (5-7 PM Sunday)
Every Sunday night our students gather for fun, fellowship, great discussion, and worship. We need a few volunteers to assist with small groups and participate in the formation of our youth. Other opportunities on Sunday nights include helping with worship setup, leading a discussion (or just being a part of one), and working the check-in table at dinner.

After School Coordinators (Wednesday afternoons 3-5 PM)
Before dinner, youth are able to spend time during homework, playing in the gym, and participating in service activities. A few volunteers are needed to assist before the youth arrive with the preparation of snacks and drinks for the youth room café. Additionally volunteers are needed to help shepherd the youth when they arrive and to participate in the afternoon activities with them.
