Youth Ministries at First Baptist Church

At First Baptist Church we believe that children and young people are vital to our faith community. There are many opportunities for youth and children to participate in our worship and fellowship life.

The Youth Group

The Youth Group meets weekly on Sunday afternoons during the program year. The group will sometimes play games, have guest speakers, take local day trips, participate in fund raising for world hunger, local youth community projects and other needs. The Youth Group also goes on retreats and mission trips, biking, hiking trips, camping and canoe trips. Sometimes they just hang out together getting to know each other better.

Family Fellowship

The Family Fellowship is an opportunity for children and youth of all ages, together with their families, to engage in a variety of programs. This group meets once per month during the program year, and is really focused on getting the families of the church together to play and have fun. Activities for the Family Fellowship have included: a Halloween Party, sledding, trips to children's theater performances, parks and museums.

Sunday Morning Worship

Our children and youth are encouraged to be active participants in our Sunday morning Worship Service. The older youth participate as ushers, greeters, and also read scripture. In addition, a Children's Message conversation time is a regular feature of the Morning Worship Service. Following this time, the children leave the formal service for Children's Worship during which they have the opportunity to learn about their faith in fun and age appropriate ways. Each year, we set aside several weeks to serve as "Youth Month", in which youth participate each Sunday and plan the leadership for Morning Worship on Youth Sunday. College age Youth Alumni also have the opportunity to lead a service during the program year.
