Partnering with parents to help every student learn to follow Jesus, be changed by Jesus, and committed to His mission.
It’s about creating an atmosphere where students belong.
Middle and high school years are challenging. Knowing how hard it is for students to navigate friendships and the challenges of the teen years, we have set aside time where they can come, hang out, play games, and learn about Jesus with their peers. Small groups break out for real conversations about how to grow their faith, their character, and their relationships - all in a safe place. Students are always welcome to invite their friends to join them.
Middle School Students
On Sundays, students will start the morning with their families (or can sit with their small group leaders) for our intergenerational worship experience, in the main worship center. All ages worship together through songs and the communion meal. After communion, middle school students and their leaders will make their way to Room 116 for snacks, games, and connecting in small groups for conversation about a Bible topic or theme.
High School Students
On Sunday mornings, we invite all our high school students to be in the main worship center as a part of our intergenerational worship experience. After communion, high school students and their leaders will make their way to Room 117 for snacks, games, and connecting in small groups for conversation about a Bible topic or theme.
We love having our students involved in our church. There are many serving opportunities for high school students: from the worship tech team to greeters to kids’ small group leaders. Contact us to find out more!
Special EVENTS
Sunday, August 17 – Fall Kickoff/Back to School Blessing
During the service the whole church family is invited to be part of prayers of blessing for the next generation as a new school year begins. Followed by group time for babies through high school students with fun ways to discover more about being a disciple of Jesus.
Parents, while your kids and teens are in their group time, you’re invited to find your people at Parent Café (Room 116). Jan and Doug, our Family Ministry Team, will share encouragement, equipping, and resources for the next phase your kids and teens are entering. Coffee/tea and sweet treats included
Faith Milestones
We believe that every kid and teenager can fulfill God’s plan for their life. Certain phases or moments in time lend themselves to specific faith learning that parents can leverage.
Keeping Your Students Safe
If students attend an off-campus event with Students at First, a parent/guardian is required to complete an emergency information/waiver in advance. This will serve as a blanket “permission slip” for all activities with FCC from June 2025 to June 2026. Please use the link below to fill one out for your student.
Safety and security is a high priority for us in Students at First. All of our volunteers who serve with minors have been background checked. You will know who they are by their FCC lanyard name tags. If an emergency should occur, FCC staff and key leaders are First Aid/CPR/AED certified.
