Youth Ministry

Encourage each other through the challenges of our lives, and build relationships on the foundation of Jesus Christ, through whom we learn love, sacrifice, purity, and holiness

If you have come to this page then you are either a student or parent who would like to know about the youth ministry at First Presbyterian Church. Either way you want information and I am more than happy to give it to you.

Our student ministry is not an offshoot of the church or a private club but a place for students to learn about and commit themselves to the overall vision of the church and incorporate themselves into the life of the church.

My prayer for each student is that church will not be a place of dread or boredom but a central part of their lives. That it will be more than a building but a living reality of God’s presence and love and where they find true life.

 Why do we have a student ministry at FPC?
The passage to the left says it all; we meet together to learn more about our faith and grow into it, encourage each other through the challenges of our lives, and build relationships on the foundation of Jesus Christ, through whom we learn love, sacrifice, purity, and holiness.

 What does this look like in our student ministry?
Because Jesus is Lord over all of our lives we follow Him in a variety of ways and purposes together:

• We offer events and gatherings in which we invite others to join us in our journey of faith.
• Through Bible studies and retreats we seek to follow Him more closely in discipleship.
• We respond to the example and call of Jesus to go into the world sharing the Good News through mission trips.
• And we make a priority of coming together to focus our lives on God and celebrate Who He is and what He is doing in our lives through worship.
