Colin Mays - Youth Director
From 2008-2010 I served as a youth intern at Wagoner FUMC, where I am currently the worship leader for their contemporary Sunday service. I graduated from Wagoner High School and I am pursuing a business degree at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK.
I have an extreme passion for worship, youth, and missions, and can't wait to inspire our youth group to grow in Christ everyday.
Be Blessed,
Colin Mays

Kyle Wagner - Piano/Organist
Music is one of God's gifts to me for which I am most grateful. This gift of music began at a young age, when I taught myself to play an old organ bought literally with pennies. Through this, I developed an ear for music. I found I could hear the slightest of tones and hear notes before they were even played!
God has literally opened doors for me musically. I played the string bass for a few years with the Asbury UMC orchestra. My journey has continued as I have become a church pianist, and hopefully one day, an orchestra and/or choir director.
