Anyone who is a tween, teen, parent or guardian of one, is on a journey! The years of being a teenager are full of transformation: mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. You don’t have to ride the roller coaster alone. First Baptist Student Ministry is here for you! In the FBC Student Ministry, we intentionally shape and form the lives of our youth in Christ through loving and purposeful programs and experiences. Throughout the year, our activities include summer camp, Bible study, mission trips, lock-ins, weekly youth group, choir tours, retreats and many other special events. If you are new to the area or to the church, we would love to meet you and welcome you to the Student Ministry at FBC.
