FCF CORE VALUE: Children & youth participate fully in church life.

Mark 10:13-14

"remove every hindrance"

2 Timothy 2:2

FCF Youth: depth over width

We unintentionally fall into a pattern of continuing the OLD approaches to leading NEW generations of teenagers.

(The problem) Being a teenager is hard -- and such a pivotal time in everyone’s life. And (to make matters worse) the old model of youth group tends to treat teens like kids at the exact moment they most need to be treated as adults. (Solution) We believe that if you genuinely listen, give them ownership, and create opportunities for deep connection with peers & adults, (results) this gives them THE BEST CHANCE to become healthy adults with meaningful relationships and a faith of their own.
