FCF Youth

FCF CORE VALUE: Children & youth participate fully in church life. Mark 10:13-14 "remove every hindrance" 2 Timothy 2:2 FCF Youth: depth over width We unintentionally fall into a pattern of continuing the OLD approaches to leading NEW generations of teenagers. (The problem) Being a teenager is hard -- and such a pivotal time in everyone’s life. And (to make matters worse) the old model of youth group tends to treat teens like kids at the exact moment they most need to be treated as adults. (Solution) We believe that if you genuinely listen, give them ownership, and create opportunities for deep connection with peers & adults, (results) this gives them THE BEST CHANCE to become healthy adults with meaningful relationships and a faith of their own. 1) FCF Youth Sunday Mornings in The Q (JV & Varsity) 2) FCF Youth Evening Gatherings 3) FCF Youth Service Projects 4) FCF Youth Mentors intergenerational relationships a whole gospel message partnership with families creating a safe place for doubt What we are asking from YOU: to embrace the involvement of young people in our church.
