Relationships are at the heart and soul of what we do. Programs cannot change the lives of students, but relationships can. We do this through what we call our three 3s — Christ, Community & Creativity.

Christ

Discipling students in developing a personal relationship and rhythm with God. We do this by…

  • Bible study Plans

  • Biblical teaching

  • Worship (creating more ways to worship
    outside of music)

Community

Creating an environment where students can
connect and grow with others. We do this by…

  • Small Groups

  • Community engagement/School and Youth organizations

  • Camps/Lock-ins/retreats

Creativity

Helping students discover their unique gifting(s) or
call to serve and lead others.
We do this by…

  • Providing opportunities to express and explore their talents

  • Finding creative ways to engage the youth

  • Providing opportunities
    for mentorship

Our goal is to help families do what they do better than anyone else: instill a rich and full sense of Christian identity in their children, and equip them to be the Church in the world. FCC youth are engaged in service, Bible study, and other opportunities for spiritual growth in a safe and fun community of peers and caring adults. We stay connected with students and provide the comforts of a spiritual home for young people as they grow in their faith. Perhaps most importantly, FCC Youth provides youth with a place where they can get to know a “great cloud of witnesses” — adults who share a common sense of values and a common delight in teenagers.
