The Flame is an outreach and service ministry provided by First United Methodist Church of Prague, Oklahoma to serve two basic and equal functions: 

  1. to serve as a Community Youth Center for the youth and children of the Prague community by providing a safe, no pressures, recreational space for activities and community building. 
  2. to serve and resource the Youth and Children's Ministries of the United Methodist Church in any way possible.  

Games for game stations will be provided by The Flame and will only include games suitable to the age of the youth or children in attendance.  We follow the standards set by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB).  Beyond Friday evenings and Wednesday afternoons, The Flame hours are determined by a balance of youth and/or children interest and available approved volunteers. 

The Flame will also be made available for community meeting, educational activities, or even an adult coffeehouse.
Additionally, The Flame will be used by the Youth and Children Ministries of the United Methodist Church, including but not limited to Quest, VBS, and lock-ins.  

All volunteers at The Flame will be approved through the SafeSanctuaries program of the United Methodist Church prior to serving as a volunteer.  This includes a mandatory background check and training for all volunteers.  Youth and Children's programs of the United Methodist Church fall under the Safe Sanctuaries policy of the church.  When open there are least two adults present and we maintain a ration of at least one adult for every twelve youth present.
