First Baptist Church Youth Ministry

First Students: High School (9th–12th Grade)
Our High School Ministry is all about equipping students in 9th through 12th grade to live out their faith with confidence, purpose, and passion. Through relevant Bible teaching, meaningful worship, and real conversations, students are challenged to deepen their relationship with Jesus and apply their faith in everyday life.

We offer a place for high school students to connect with mentors and peers, grow as leaders, and explore how their faith can impact their school, community, and future. From weekly gatherings to retreats, service projects, and unforgettable events, First Students is a space where teens are known, encouraged, and empowered.

First Students Youth Group Wednesdays | 6 – 8 PM

Join us every Wednesday from 6-8 pm for a fun and relaxed evening with friends! We hang out, enjoy pizza, sodas, frappes, and spend time diving into the Bible together. It’s a welcoming space for teens to connect, ask questions, and grow in faith. All are welcome!
