Youth ministry at FPC is alive and well! There are many opportunities for youth to get involved, have fun, and make a difference.
Who
Youth Fellowship is open to all youth and generally split into two groups:
When
- Sunday Morning from 9:45-10:45 with classes for every age group
- Sunday Evening from 6:30-8:00 including a parent-prepared supper (though all are welcome to attend both Youth Choir and Youth Handbell Choir starting at 5:00)
- Wednesday Evening from 6:30-7:30 following a fellowship supper starting at 6:00.
What
The Youth meet to explore their faith through a balance of study, fellowship, service and fun. They focus on what it means to be a Christian in today’s ever-changing world and how they can carry out their faith in their everyday lives. They explore the Bible, participate in service opportunities, and forge bonds of Christian fellowship.
Where
The Youth meet in the Christian Life Center, across from the main church building.
Above and Beyond
Youth Sunday
Once a year, the Senior High Youth plan, prepare, and lead Sunday worship during the 11 o’clock hour. It’s a service that our congregation is proud of and is a real rare “once-a-year” privilege to attend.
During the summer, the Junior High Youth dedicate three days to completing service projects in the local community, painting, building, and volunteering at the food bank. It’s a great time for the students to engage in local mission work and explore how they can make a difference in their world and through their faith here at home.
Each summer the Senior High Youth participate in a mission trip to spread the word of God around the world. Students engage in various fundraising activities throughout the year to help finance the trips, realizing how much they can accomplish by working, playing, and praying together and what a difference it can make. Past trips include mission work in Florida, New Mexico, St. Louis, Alaska, Kentucky, Chicago, Oklahoma, Maryland, New Orleans, New York City, Edisto Island, S.C., and West Virginia. In June 2010, the youth will travel to the Dominican Republic.
