Welcome to Youth Ministries
"Middle school and high school can be some of the most exciting—and most challenging—years of life. Students are faced with new experiences, deep questions, and a longing for belonging. We believe the best place to navigate these years is within the family of Jesus and the life of His church.
We aim to create lifelong disciples of Jesus who live with purpose and joy by:
- Introducing teens to Jesus of Nazareth and his way of life
- Helping teens develop rhythms and values that deepen their faith and relationship with Jesus
- Fostering a community where teenagers genuinely want to be
- Serving teenagers well while teaching them the value of serving others
- Helping teens find their place in the larger family of Jesus
Our prayer is that every student who engages regularly with our community will graduate with great memories, a resilient faith, life-long friendships, and the confidence to step into the future knowing they belong to Christ and to His church."
Youth Escape Room
Youth Grades 6-12 are invited to join us on August 24th for dinner and an escape room adventure! We will meet in the First Church Youth Room at 4:30PM for dinner and then carpool over to Mission Escape Games for our 6PM escape room reservation. After we "escape" we will head back to the church parking lot. You can expect to pick your child up from the church around 7:45/8PM that evening. The cost for this event is $40 per person which covers dinner, transportation, and the escape room!
We can bring a max of 21 students!
Middle School Class
During the 10:30 AM Contemporary Service, Grades 6-8 meet in room M103 for engaging, age-appropriate lessons about scripture. On the first Sunday of the month, during our Combined Service, our middle schoolers are invited to worship with their families in the Meetinghouse.
Youth Group
(Grades 6-12)
Grades 6-12 are invited to meet each Sunday evening from 6:00-8:00 PM in the Youth Room. Each week we will enjoy games, snacks, worship, and a group discussion about life and faith.
*We are currently on break for the summer and will resume in the Fall.
