 Dear
Friend,
Welcome
to FPC where we are seekng to
find purpose in Christ. I am glad
that you have taken interest in
our youth ministry. We believe
that God desires students to be
a vital component in His church.
Students are not the hope for the
Church of tomorrow but are truly
the Church of today!
God
has and will continue to use young
people to build up His Kingdom.
That is why it is essential to
get plugged in!
The
following information will give
you insight to our purpose and
also an overview of the opportunities
offered for both Jr. and Sr. High
Students to get plugged in.
God
Bless.
His Servant,
Jeremy

Associate to the Pastor in Youth

The
Overview
The Well (yOuthouse Ministries) exists as an active element of
First Presbyterian Church to energize,
equip, and empower students and
their families to live for Christ,
reflecting the core values stated
below.
Our Core
Values – The success
of the ministry will be measured
by how our core values are reflected
in the students and families God
has called us to minister to.
We believe God has created/called
us to glorify Himself through a
lifestyle of worship (Ephesians
3, Romans 12:1). As a ministry,
we desire to encourage a lifestyle
of worship by instilling value
in the following areas:
- Community – God
has created/called us to live
in Christ-centered relationships with
each other. We will provide
opportunity for students to connect
and build
each other up in Christ. (1
Corinthians 1:10, Philippians
4:2, 1 Peter
4:9)
-
Discovery – God
has created/called us to KNOW
Him. We will passionately
endeavor to help students develop
in their faith by giving them
opportunities to learn more
about who they are
in relationship to the God
who created them. (Matthew 28:18-20,
Acts 2:42, 2 Timothy 3:16-17)
- Service – God
has created/called us to live
sacrificially with our time,
giftedness, and resources. We
will seek to help students become
good stewards of what God has
given them. (Galatians 5:13-14,
Mark 10:43-45, 1 John 3:16-19)
The Strategy
Relational
Ministry - Following
the example of Christ, this ministry
will focus on the process of discipleship.
We believe that Jesus discipled
His followers relationally. Likewise,
we want to be characterized by
our relational style of ministry.
The Plan
We desire to see our purpose carried out through the following vehicles…
Impact exists to energize, equip,
and empower students to reach their
world for Jesus.
- Sunday Night Impact (Weekly)
- Think Tank (Weekly)
- Small Groups (TBA)
- Work Camps (Summer)
- Retreats (March)
Ignite exists
to provide students with
an opportunity ‘hang’ with
each other and introduce
their friends to Jesus.
- Pizza Lunch (Weekly)
- Friday Night Ignite (Quarterly)
- GymNites (Monthly)
Parenting Partnership
- God
has called parents to be the
primary teachers of spiritual
instruction (Deuteronomy 6:4-9;
Ephesians 6:4). Therefore we
will do everything we can to
love, energize, equip, and empower
parents to be the primary teachers
of spiritual instruction.
- Parent Meetings
(At Least Quarterly)
- Parenting Workshops (At least one
series per year)
