YCMC was launched in October 2006 to coincide with the completion of the 2006 church alterations. It aims to provide a co-ordinated and mainly modular programme of activities for children and young people. The programme includes Sunday activities (Sunday Morning Club, Seekers, youth worship), music and drama (mainly the musicals), occasional school holiday clubs (eg 'An Easter Taster'), annual or bi-annual events (a confirmation course, Breakout) together with occasional pizza evenings and sleep-overs. YCMC also raises money for a selection of charities.
All who share in any part of the YCMC programme are members of YCMC. Modern technology keeps members in touch. The YCMC programme is delivered by a team led by Nancy-May Goodwin. The team is trained in the Safeguarding procedures of the Methodist Church.
So what does YCMC mean? It can mean many things: 'Youth and Children in the Methodist Church', 'Young Christians Meeting and Caring', 'Your Church, My Church', 'Your Charity, My Concern'. It means that Audlem Methodist Church is committed to the lively presentation of Christian faith and practice to children and young people.
