TEEN MINISTRIES
Students...you are loved by God! At FPC, we believe that God wants to radically change your life through a relationship with His Son, Jesus.
Gilbert's Youth Center
Gilbert's Youth Center is located on the corner of Chillicothe and Mound Streets (across from Shoemaker's parking lot) and is often open for junior and senior high students to hang out with their friends, have fun, and maybe grab a snack. Many of FPC’s youth ministry events and gatherings are held here.
5th QUARTER
All junior high and high school students are invited to Gilbert’s Youth Center after each Southeastern home football and basketball game. Gilbert's is open until 11:00 pm to come and shoot hoops, play some pool or video games, or just sit and chat.
(Fifth Quarter is supervised by youth staff and adult members of First Presbyterian Church.)
JUNIOR HIGH
Jr. High Night
Students in grades 7 & 8 are invited to a weekly Wednesday evening gathering from 6:30-8:00 pm at Gilbert's Youth Center to participate in Bible study and just have some hang-out time, plus grab a snack.
Wyldlife
Every third Sunday from 6:45-8:00 pm, junior high kids come to Gilbert's for a junior high version of Young Life Club! Crazy games, skits, and songs end with a short Bible lesson. Bring your friends and join the fun! To find out if it's this Sunday or next, check out the calendar.

Young Life Club
Come and have the best night of your week! This is the place to be for high school kids on Monday nights at 8:00 pm at Gilbert's during the school year. We'll do wild stuff, play crazy games, sing ridiculous songs, and then end with a short Bible lesson. Bring your friends! Our Young Life leaders would love to meet you!

YL Campaigners
Campaigners is a weekly gathering for kids who want to learn more about Jesus than just what is presented at Club. We invite kids to actively follow Jesus, and our Young Life leaders are there to walk right along with them. Campaigners meets Mondays from 6:30-7:30pm (right before Young Life Club) at the Baldauff residence.
YL Camp
Young Life camping involves high adventure, lots of fun, great food, and excellent speakers who understand and respect high school kids. For one week each summer, kids are treated to resort-quality facilities, deprived of their electronics, and experience Jesus like never before. We go to one of four different camps each year. See a Young Life leader for details.
