Ignite Youth Wednesday Gathering

Ignite Youth at Burnet UMC strives to plant the following into the hearts of our youth:

You Can Know Jesus

You Belong

You Have Impact

Dear Parents:


My name is Dan Britton. I am writing to let you know that I, along with my wife Leonora and Jason Birdwell, will be overseeing the youth program at First Methodist Church.


After retiring from a career at IBM, I entered the ministry with a focus on Christian Theology and Apologetics. I am the National Director of Ratio Christi College Prep. Ratio Christi is an apologetics and evangelism organization that equips students with the tools and skills to defend their faith and share it with others. As the National Director of Ratio Christ College Prep, I also teach middle and high school students the importance of having a Biblical Worldview. Various groups of students meet five times a week locally (Monday evenings, Thursday mornings, and evenings). To learn more about Ratio Christi, click this link: https://rccp.ratiochristi.org/

We plan on meeting over the summer on Wednesdays from 5:30 to 7:00. Each meeting will have a time of food and fellowship, a short teaching, followed by discussion. We will be studying an overview of the Bible, including both the Old and New Testaments. We will also plan other activities, such as local and overnight field trips. These will be announced via GroupMe (https://groupme.com/join_group/70259538/SkSNae3j) and the Church app as the summer progresses. I look forward to meeting you and the students over the coming weeks.


I look forward to meeting you and the students over the coming weeks. Please feel free to contact me or Jason Birdwell if you have any questions. Thank you,

Dr. Dan S. Britton

If you are a teenager in and around Burnet, TX, come join us and let God ignite the amazing gift that is you! Ignite Youth are encouraged and taught how to take an active role in servant leadership, from service projects, to creative leadership (such as in music and artistic technology).

“For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”

2 Timothy 1:6-7 ESV
