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

Before they become high schoolers, they must traverse junior high. This is a time of challenge and excitement. Junior high students present a special challenge. 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. This year the girls will be using the curriculum of “Jeweled Fountain” by Five Aspects. This study has been written to help girls understand who God created them to be. As they learn to know and obey God, He will enable them to fulfill the high and lovely purpose that He has for them now as girls and later as women.
