Connectional Gaming is an attempt to bring youth from multiple United Methodist congregations together through online video games quarterly. The idea behind Connectional Gaming is rooted in the UMC's emphasis on connection—that our churches are not isolated entities but part of a greater, interconnected network of churches.

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 MinistrySafe Abuse Prevention Training. Contact our Director of Discipleship, Alex Balch at family@fumcclifton.org for any questions.
