Youth Christian Living
What used to be called "Sunday School" is called Christian Living at First Church. Why? Because that time has always been about one thing: learning to connect Christian living every day in every way!
Our goal is to provide all students with a caring Christian environment by promoting their spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being in accordance with God's love, grace, and will.
Our vision is comprised of five elements that are important to the growth of young Christians:
1. Discipleship
2. Mission
3. Worship
4. Evangelism
5. Fellowship
We strive to make this a ministry "with youth" rather than "for youth". This is a community of unconditional love and acceptance!
