FPC Youth
YOUTH SUNDAY SCHOOL IS ON FOR THE FALL!!
Jason and Emily Mooney will continue to lead our Youth Sunday School and it is our goal and prayer that through the study of God’s word our youth would develop and deepen their understanding of what it means to be a sinner in need of salvation, God’s perfect plan of salvation to meet that need, and how our relationship to God through salvation in Christ Jesus overflows into service and sacrifice for God and others in our day-to-day-lives. All parents are encouraged to avail your youth of this wonderful opportunity to engage in corporate study of God’s Word. We ask all parents for your fervent prayers over this vital ministry of our church as we serve and strive together as one body, unified by the Holy Spirit and resting in the sovereign grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
NEW YOUTH BIBLE STUDY
Beginning on October 1st, Pastor Tim and Will Montgomery will lead our Youth in a study of the Westminster Shorter Catechism. The group will meet at Cracker Barrel at 6:45 am every Wednesday morning and we will conclude in time for all youth to get to school. All youth are encouraged and welcomed to attend!! If you have any questions please reach out to Pastor Tim or Will Montgomery.
