"The College and Young Adult Ministry is a safe space where interested individuals, ages 18–40 come together to foster Christian dialogue and community. We meet every other Thursday from 6 – 8 PM. From 6 -7 PM we eat dinner and fellowship. The lively unfiltered discussion continues from 7 – 8PM as we discuss scripture and lean in to how we really feel!"

Worship ministry

god Essential living

The purpose of the Worship Ministries is to ultimately and entirely bring glory to God. The primary means of fulfilling this goal is by collectively leading and aiding members of the Body of Christ in corporate worship. Reading the Bible, praying, singing songs that express our faith in God and declare it to the world and reflecting on it to help us to know more of God.



The committee assists the Pastor in planning the worship service and its contents as well as planning special worship services throughout the church year. The committee consists of several ministries that help create a team effort in accomplishing its goals. These include usher board, greeters, music ministry, dance ministry, sound and video ministry, communion stewards, youth and children’s ministry, evangelism, prayer ministry, and Christian education ministry.

The committee meets quarterly the third Thursday of each month at 6pm but during the peak of special services such as Advent and Easter, the committee will meet monthly.

Goals: Higher Education Ministry of Francis Burns provides support to graduates in our congregation via mentorship. Our newly formed Mentorship Program consists of volunteers who are chosen to mentor our graduates and in turn, graduates/mentees that chose to be mentored. Their mentorship efforts include support of the local collegiate ministries with prayers, love, financial support, care packages, and notes of encouragement. Information is also provided to graduates about scholarships that are available from the annual conference and other Organizations. We are also responsible for educating the church about the United Methodist Church’s work in higher education through the church’s social media platform. Also, high school graduates and those who graduate from college are recognized the 2nd Sunday in June each year during our Baccalaureate Ceremony. The HECM Committee meets the 2nd Wednesday of each month @ 7:00 p.m. via zoom unless otherwise rescheduled because of conflicts within the different ministries.
