Youth
First Youth is a fun and exciting place where students in grades 6-12 learn about God and explore what it means to have faith and follow Jesus. Our space is a brave one - hard questions are encouraged, and our relationships with God and each other grow deeper through times of laughter and joy, silliness and jokes, sadness and tears, and at times, messiness. First Youth is a place where all youth are valued and all youth belong, and we love meeting guests and friends of friends!

Upcoming EventS
Aug 1-3 - Stay Mission Trip - Stay Mission Trip is an awesome opportunity for youth to bond with other youth, learn leadership skills, and expand their knowledge on missions and tools they will need to build things. Friday we have an awesome adventure at Group Dynamyx (an indoor fun facility with games, ropes courses, and overall fun - just ask the other youth!) Saturday we focus outward and volunteer with a non-profit nearby. Sunday we stay here at the church and will work on minor projects around the church! You can register here.
Aug 17 - 5:08 pm - Back to School Family BBQ - All Youth in Grades 6-12th and their families are invited for a Youth Back to School Family BBQ! We will play games, receive the schedule for this coming year, and join together in worship. We will provide the hotdogs, hamburgers, and chips. Please bring a side to share if you can, still come if you can't.
Youth Sunday School
We dive deep into God's Word and studies different topics each semester, with lessons that are practical and full of substance. We discover God's deep love for each of us, and also how each person fits into this big world around us. We don't shy away from tough questions - instead, we explore how faith is still relevant and vital in today's world.
Leader: Kylie Campbell
Time: Sundays, 10:00am
Location: Youth Building
youth Group
Youth Group happens twice a week during the school year! As part of our church-wide Wednesdays at First program, youth meet on Wednesdays for dinner beforehand to catch up with each other and hang out. After eating, youth build relationships and get to know each other more through fun activities and games together. And, on Sunday nights, youth meet in the Youth Building to play a game, worship together (led by the FirstYouth Worship Team), share in lesson, and end in small group time.
Leader: Kylie Campbell
Time: Wednesdays 6:00pm & Sundays 5:08pm (during the school year)
Location: Youth Building
Mission Wednesdays
Mission Wednesdays take place on the first Wednesday of each month: we serve and help in various ways to meet needs in our community. Packing food bags, tending to our Community Garden, building ramps, and more are ways we can show that youth are the church right now!
Leader: Kylie Campbell
Time: First Wednesdays 6:00pm
