Better Life Group (BLG)

The BLGs are one of the most active groups in our church. They are what you might call the "experienced" folks in our congregation. They meet monthly, but a potluck in the church basement really isn't their style they prefer battle fields, museums, beaches, executive mansions... you know, fun stuff! The most important thing about our Better Life Group is that we care about each other, and we aren't afraid to show it!

Children's Ministry

We offer a wide variety of programs and events for children here at Divine Street UMC, from Sunday School for all age groups to wednesday night Children's Groups, and several annual events like our easter egg hunt and Trunk or treat.

Upper Room Youth Ministry

Adolescence is a critical time in any person's life and it is an especially important period for a developing christian. Questions of spirituality and relationship with the mysteries of faith begin to play increasingly more integral roles in the lives of our young men and women. Here at Divine Street we encourage our youth to evaluate their role in the life of the church, and to make their faith their own. All the while giving them the freedom and loving support they need to develop a genuine relationship with our saviour Jesus
