Students need a Biblical framework to help them make decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. Through discipleship and prayer groups, fellowship times, retreats, and summer mission trips, we help students apply the truths of God’s Word to their lives and equip them to share the love of Christ with their peers.

Our Youth Ministry is open to all interested students. If you or your student would like more information, send an email to our Minister to Students, Hunter Stevenson here.

Project Sweat
Project Sweat is an in-town service project for High School students. Students will participate in various types of yard and house work for those in our congregation and community who are needy in some way. The team will stay at FPC together, and play on Lake Tobesofkee each evening where the team members will be able to recreate and rest. Project Sweat is a great opportunity to serve others and to have a blast!

The Edge
The Edge is a Jr. High retreat held at the campus of Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, GA. This is a “counselor centered” conference, which means that free time has been built into the schedule for youth leaders to spend with their students. This will enable relationships to be built that will reinforce the Scriptural truths which are being taught at the meetings. One of the primary goals of the conference is that students leave The Edge keenly aware that God is who He says He is and that we are called to respond to Him.

International Missions Trip
Every year a group of our senior high students are part of a team that goes to another country to advance the Kingdom of Christ! Typically we do construction in the mornings, and VBS or Sports Clinics with local children in the afternoons. In past years, we have gone to Mexico and Belize. This is a great opportunity to minister to our international brothers and sisters in Christ!
