First Students

A place to belong

Grow in faith alongside other students.

First Students serves students in grades 6-12 with biblical teaching, relationships, and opportunities to take an active part in the life of the church.

Students are encouraged to grow in their faith, show the love of Jesus, and share the good news with the people around them.
