High School Small Groups

Small groups led by adult church members help students live out their faith in practical ways and learn more about the God we serve through Bible study, discussion, mentoring, and community building. Most groups meet weekly or bi-weekly throughout the school year. Groups are separated by gender and grade level–9th/10th grades and 11th/12th grades.

DMI - Don't Miss It!

DMI (Don’t Miss It!) is a weekly senior high youth group meeting on Sunday nights. It is a time for high school students to form deeper connections with each other, play games, and learn more about God. We meet on Sunday nights at the Church from 7:15 pm to 9:00 pm. Bring a friend and let the games begin!

High School Winter Retreat

Each winter our high school students go to Camp Timber-lee in East Troy, WI, for a Winter Retreat! The weekend is filled with worship, small  group discussions, snow activities, and plenty of time to hang out with friends. Timber-lee offers broomball, karaoke, a game room, cross-country skiing, tubing, tobogganing, and ice skating, and more!
  
This is a wonderful time for our high youth to gain independence, grow in faith, and just have fun!

SUMMER MISSION TRIP

Developing a servant’s heart is an important part of our youth program at First Pres. Each year the youth group goes on a mission trip over the summer to places such as New Orleans, South Dakota, and Mexico to help those less fortunate. In 2023, we went to Chattanooga, TN, with Son Servants

Jesus said in Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
