Elementary, Middle and High School Youth Groups are a dynamic ministry at First Church. Our fellowship time consists of prayer, games, action, and conversations around the intersection of faith and justice. We also focus on individual and communal spiritual formation, grounded in scripture as our guide towards a liberated world.

Through our religious education and youth group offerings, our goals are:
- A safe and sacred space for young people
- Supporting the faith journeys of youth in the church and the community
- Studying of Scripture with honest dialogue about authority, beauty, faith, humanity, and love
- A place to question: to bring doubts as well as certainties
- Engaging in music, sports, dance and drama to develop spiritual/religious practices
- Retreating for First Communion and Confirmation
- Celebrating special church holidays including St. Francis Day, Advent, Christmas, Lent, Holy Week, Easter, Pentecost
We invite parents, Godparents, relatives, and friends on a monthly basis to team-teach with the church faculty.
