At First Presbyterian Church, we have a vibrant student ministry, with a full time staff member, several full time summer interns, and a significant, dedicated group of adult volunteer leaders. Our goal is to equip our students to know Christ and to live for his glory as we prepare, along with families, to launch them into adulthood.
Student Ministry at First Presbyterian Church provides an opportunity for learning and growing in a rich and deep community of faith. Our Middle School and Senior High Youth Groups meet weekly, with games, worship, teaching, and small group learning part of their experience. Students also have the opportunity to serve on a Student Leadership Team and lead a variety of ministry teams. Contact Cory Longenecker (Student Ministry Director), for more information on High School and Middle School. Or fill out a Connect Card!

Guys & Girls Groups
Our heart is for students to have a space to explore their faith in community with others and smaller groups are one of those places.
At High School Youth Group, we break out into smaller groups after the teaching to discuss. There are also girls and guys small groups that meet during the week throughout the year.
Occasionally, we host Grace Nights that are planned fun activities broken out in smaller groups.

Sunday School
During the school year (Sept.-May), Sunday School for all ages (0-109!) is offered from 10:15 to 11:00 AM between the services.
