Trinity UMC Aiken, SC

YouthTrinity Bates

Trinity has had an organized youth program since 1980 with the purpose of spending time with youth to help them learn Christian fundamentals. Currently, the Rev. Donnie Bates, pictured right, serves as Youth Pastor for this thriving group. 

The Youth meet on Wednesday and Sunday evenings for Bible study and games, with an average attendance of 26. The group also participates in a variety of events during the year, such as a ski trip, white water rafting, a beach trip, bowling, and a zoo trip.

The group’s primary goals are to learn to read and understand Scripture then apply it to their lives, and to learn to fellowship together and be active church members.
