+ Youth Service/Scholarship Sheet
Stonebridge UMC and the Student Ministries of SUMC strive to make each youth activity and trip available to all students. Youth activities should exemplify that church is a place for everyone. So, we are offering a service/scholarship program for youth activities that have a monetary cost.
It is important for students to learn about work, the value of money, and a lifestyle of gratitude. It is our goal that every student who receives will be able to give back in some form. When we are blessed, we are called to bless others.
Every hour of ministry in service will equate to $15 of scholarship towards their trip or activity. Hours must be worked before the actual trip or events and thus may not be used on an IOU basis. Please fill out this form and return to Eric Jones.
+ Adult Volunteers
Adult volunteers are always needed to teach Sunday School for both our middle and high school classes and to lead small groups on Wednesday nights. If you are interested, please contact Pastor Maggie for more information. All volunteers are required to complete the Ministry Safe training and an online background check in order to work with minors
A Medical Release form is required for all trips out of the McKinney area. It must be notarized and is valid for 1 year. Click here to download a form.
