Each year the senior high youth group leaders undertake the daunting task of helping our high school age young people learn more about being a disciple of Jesus Christ. This begins with a kickoff event in September and continues every Wednesday through May. Small groups, Bible studies, and service projects help our young people understand the personal discipline required to be a follower of Jesus Christ. In addition, weekend retreats and fun nights encourage social interaction. This all contributes to an understanding of who each person is in fellowship with one another and most importantly who each person is as defined in Jesus Christ

Our junior high program is tailored to address the special challenges of young people this age. High energy and high excitement combined with solid biblical teaching all specially tailored for our kids provides the basis for youth ministry that should challenge every young person.

GLOW (Girls Living Out the Word) is a ministry to girls in the 2nd-6th grade, led by women from First CRC. At GLOW the girls to lessons, sing, play games, do crafts, and spend time in fellowship with each other and their counselors.
This year the girls will be using the curriculum of “My God Say” Life Journal. This study helps kids identify their feelings and counsel those feelings with truth. Like David in the book of Psalms, we are going to have feelings! Kids just need to learn how to meet those feelings with truth instead of the lies our culture feeds them.
