Youth
At First Presbyterian Church, we are committed to inviting, encouraging, and cultivating a space where youth can grow in community, faith, and connection with one another. Our goal is to provide inclusive and safe environments where all young people feel accepted, loved, and valued. Through shared stories and meaningful interactions, we nurture discipleship, empathy, and personal growth. With curiosity and imagination, we explore questions of faith, God, our sacred stories, and the world around us, fostering a deeper connection to both faith and community. All are welcome here!
