If your junior high youth has access to some safe (not pointed) pumpkin carving tools, we would love for you to send them along with your youth that afternoon. We want them to be safe and protected and also able each to design a pumpkin that we will have leftover from our Prayer Partner Breakfast that morning. Let us know if you are planning to send some with your youth. We want to be sure we have enough tools for everyone to participate.

Youth Ministry Mission Statement
Led by the Holy Spirit and in partnership with families, the youth ministry of First Presbyterian Church exists to engage 100% of the youth under its care, to teach them and train alongside them to live in Christ, and to send them out as Godly women and men of integrity who join in Christ’s transforming work in their homes, schools, churches, workplaces and worlds.”
Youth Ministry Motto
God’s up to something. Be a part of it.
Values
We are a Christ-centered community marked by compassion, brokenness, grace, worship, mission, and play:
- Compassion – we seek to be present with and for one another in times of great joy and in times of great pain.
- Brokenness – we “accept the anxiety of feeling ourselves in suspense and incomplete,” and offer our authentic selves to God and each other, confident that God does not despise a broken spirit.
- Grace – we are all undeserving recipients of God’s love and acceptance. We strive to offer one another the same extravagant forgiveness and belonging God extends to us in Jesus Christ.
- Worship – the Holy Spirit gathers us together to experience the Word of God written, proclaimed, and revealed in Jesus Christ through inter-generational community that loves, glorifies and enjoys God together.
- Mission – we join in Christ’s continuing ministry of reconciliation in the world.
- Play – we recognize laughter, fun, and joy as markers of a healthy faith community.
