Youth Ministry
"For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O Lord, from my youth. Upon you I have leaned from my birth; it was you who took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of you." Psalm 71:5-6
The Youth Ministry program at First Presbyterian Church seeks to create a safe environment where young people can be themselves, have fun, ask big questions, and grow in faith together.
We are committed to embracing the youth of the church in all aspects of congregational life, and to teaching and modeling the love of Jesus Christ.
First Presbyterian offers many opportunities for 6th – 12th graders to become involved. Opportunities include Sunday School, Youth Group, Mission Trips, Bible Study, service projects, Music Ministry, and much more!
