WE NEED FUNDS TO SEND KIDS TO A JAN 4-6, 2013 WINTER RETREAT
UPPER XTREME FELLOWSHIP is a group of Young Teens and Twenties who together with a group of Adult Mentors are seeking to learn how to do Community better as they seek to Draw Closer to God. Many in UXF have had Struggles with the Institutional Church which is part of what Draws us Together. We are also Drawn Together by Mutual Interests such as Music. We are open and Non-Judgemental.... and Welcome those who still Struggle with the Idea of God.
The UPPER XTREME began as the vision of a concert ministry at the Fourth Street United Methodist Church in Aurora, IL. It was the brain child of Rev Sam Smith and one of the youths in his Youth Group: Jake Fischer. It ran for about six years as a concert ministry from 2001 until 2007. It was later revived for a concert at the Gary United Methodist Church in FEB 2009. Now it is functioning as the Umbrella for a New Progressive Fellowship/Congregation/Church for those, mainly youth, who have been disenfranchised by the church in general. The purpose is to provide open, all embracing, love and fellowship for all. The expressions to be in the form of UX Chats, UX Excursions, UX Concerts, UX FEEDS,UX Discussions, UX Book Studies etc.
