-Jesus of Nazareth Welcome to Haddonfield United Methodist Church YOUth Fellowship webpage! On this site you will be able to find information about our various programs, events, and ministries.
About Us
We believe in one God - the creator and sustainer of all that is.
We believe that we have been created in God's image and are called by God to be stewards and caretakers of God's creation.
We believe that it is in the work and person of Jesus Christ that we see God and God's will revealed most clearly to humankind.
We believe that life is best lived within a community of mutual and unconditional love, where all individuals are afforded equal dignity and status as children of the Living God.
Day by day, life by life, we are striving to build this community. It is our prayer that, by Christ's grace, we might learn to live as He lived, teach as He taught, and love as He loves - always and in all ways.
Come and join us on our journey - all are welcome, and all are wanted!

Scripture tells us to make a joyful noise to God - lend your voice and your talents to our noise! YOUth for Yaweh is a collaborative student effort to create original and dynamic worship experiences for our congregation. We use song, drama, dance, video, and anything else we can come up with to share our vision of God and our love of Jesus Christ with our church. Don't worry if you can't keep a pitch - we'd rather have you sing loud than sing well! Or, don't sing at all - there are all kinds of ways in which you can be a part of this experience, just be willing to use whatever God has given you!
