Welcome Friends!
First Presbyterian Church’s Youth Ministry is for all 5th-12th graders at FPC and in the Winchester community.
Like the rest of the world, FPCYM has looked a little different for the past year, but there are still lots of ways to get involved. In April, we will continue to offer virtual gatherings while adding in-person options.
If you want to get connected to Youth Ministry at FPC, you can contact the director of Youth Ministry, Annie Pompelia, at annie@fpcwinc.org or join our email list here to learn about what FPCYM will be up to and how you can get involved!

REGISTER FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL NOW!
Youth Group:
Our 7th-12th grade students have many opportunities to get involved here at
First Presbyterian Church. We offer Sunday school classes, youth choir, youth fellowship, mission trips and other fellowship and service opportunities. Our high school youth plan and lead worship twice a year, at the 7 p.m. Christmas Eve Service and on Youth Sunday. This helps them to grow in their faith while learning more about worship. Our 8th grade students can choose to become a member of our church by opting into our Commissioning program where they pick or are assigned a mentor who leads them through this process. This program guides them in their faith and builds the foundation for the future.
Youth Fellowship is for 7-12th grade students every Sunday night. Each week we live by the 3 F’s, Food, Fun, and Fellowship. Meetings are from 6-7:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
NEXT ministry is a special pre-teen ministry for 5-6th graders, which includes fellowship and service events. Including serving in Jubilee Kitchen, celebrating holidays, meeting monthly for an almost youth group, and other special events!
Mission:
Mission is very important to our church and the youth is no exception. Every year our youth experience many opportunities to participate in local missions of the church. This includes a mission experience for our older youth, a local mini mission week for our 5th & 6th grade students called HIS Week (Hands In Service), collecting canned good for CCAP, serving a meal with Jubilee Kitchen, working at the Highland Food Pantry, and so much more. We at First Presbyterian Church think that believing in God is just as important as serving His people in our community and around the world.
