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!

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

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.
