Youth & Children's Programs at FCC

Youth Fellowship

Mission Statement: As youth and those who support youth, we seek a community that is open, friendly, fun, and inclusive, based on trusting relationships, and nestled in a supportive environment. We will be about seeking God together as friends and growing in our spirituality, while encouraging others to grow in theirs. We will learn to use our spirituality to serve others as well as build a sense of community.

Our youth group is:

• Open to any youth.
• A faith community of itself and a part of the larger faith community of First Christian Church, which implies a makeup of committed and participating individuals.
• Committed to Christian service.

There are youth groups for youth from third grade through high school (Picture)at First Christian Church.

• Christian Youth Fellowship (CYF) (Picture) is a group for junior high and high school students (9th - 12th)
• Chi Rho Fellowship (XP) (Picture) is a group for middle school and junior high students.(6th - 8th)
• Junior Youth Fellowship (JYF) is a group for third through fifth grade students and meets Wednesdays after school. Transportation from the local elementary schools to the church can be arranged.

All groups, both in small and large group activities, participate in experiences that increase their understanding of community, spirituality, and Christian service.  Through these activities, which range from discussion groups to crazy games, we seek to better understand the love of God manifest in Jesus Christ and the people around us. We want to be a people of faith, committed to the love and service of others.
