FFC Youth

Welcome to FFC Youth

We are the student ministry of First Family Church, and we have the privilege of caring for and investing in 6th–12th-grade students to help them become more like Jesus!

Our Mission

Know God

Every student in our city matters to Jesus. Our heart is to see each one know Him personally and seek Him wholeheartedly.

Pursue Friendship

Life change happens best in community. In groups, students find freedom, grow in faith, and build lasting friendships that point to Christ.

Discover Purpose

God has uniquely gifted every student. We want them to uncover those gifts and use them to advance His Kingdom.

Make a Difference

Students are called to live on mission. Our desire is to see them impact their homes, schools, city, and world for Jesus.
