PUYALLUP VALLEY YOUTH COLLECTIVE

Beginning in the fall of 2026, Puyallup UMC will be part of the launch of a special new multi-denominational youth ministry for teenagers here in the South Sound!

The Puyallup Valley Youth Collective is a collaborative youth group co-op ministry offering a safe and affirming community where youth in our area can explore their faith, build new friendships, and discover diverse ways of being part of the Christian community together.

This is open to all middle and high school students in grades 6-12.

Multiple churches from different faith backgrounds, including Peace Lutheran Puyallup, First Christian Church of Puyallup, and Sumner United Methodist, have all signed on to this ministry with us.

Each of our congregations is inclusive and affirming of all, including LGBTQ+ youth who will find a safe space here.

Co-op nights will begin with dinner, games, and activities, followed by conversation time.

Gatherings will be held monthly on the second Wednesday of every month from 6-8 PM. Puyallup UMC has the largest facility, so these are held in the fellowship hall at Puyallup United Methodist Church (1919 W. Pioneer, Puyallup, WA 98371).

Feel free to contact us or any of the participating churches with questions.
