Student Ministries
For students in grades 7–12
The Way is First Presbyterian Church’s ministry for students in grades 7 to 12. It is a place where teens can follow Jesus, ask honest questions, and find a community that cares about them.
We know life is loud for students. That is why we create a safe, welcoming environment where friendships grow, faith gets stronger, and students learn what it means to walk with Christ in their everyday life.
Everyone is welcome to come, belong, and take their next step toward Jesus.
Sundays from 6:30 to 8 PM – September 7 to May 17 each year
Gatherings include:
- Worship
- Bible teaching
- Small groups
- Activities and games
- Opportunities to build real friendships
Students and parents can stay connected throughout the week through our Band App group. Band is a communication app designed for teams and groups. It allows parents and students to receive updates, event details, reminders, and weekly communication from our youth leaders. It is not related to music. It is simply the best place to stay informed and plugged in.
