Campers return from Juneau
Youth from St. John, First UMC Anchorage, Sitka UMC, Aldersgate UMC and Douglas UMC had a great time at service learning camp at Eagle River Methodist Camp in Juneau July 21-27, 2024. They did work projects at camp, learned how to use and preserve native plants and what to do with invasive ones from Vivian, and engaged in conversations about equity- and justice-centered community building, houseless neighbors, earth stewardship, and food insecurity. All this while having fun and building relationships with each other!
SAFE CHURCH POLICY
We believe that children of all ages are best able to grow in faith and healthy relationships only when they feel safe, and it is with that in mind that we abide by our Safe Church Policy for all children and youth activities. It is a policy we follow in making congregations safe places where children, youth and elders may experience the abiding love of God and fellowship within the community of faith. All leaders are background checked, there are windows in every room and door and children/youth/leaders are always in groups of three or more. Read our Safe Church Policy here. Questions?
