We call it “The Porch” because John Wesley once described the grace that all people freely receive from God as the “front porch of a house.” The grace of this porch is the grace that “prepares our hearts and minds to hear and receive the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to respond in faith.” We strive to create a safe, welcoming environment for youth to grow into the unique individuals that God created them to be. Every student that walks into our doors can expect to be welcomed unconditionally. All of our student volunteers are background checked and are required to complete Ministry Safe Abuse Prevention Training. Contact our Director of Discipleship, Alex Balch at family@fumcclifton.org for any questions.
