The
Youth Ministry at First
Presbyterian Church strives to meet needs of youth and parents
in
today's world. Our program is designed with two major goals: reaching
and teaching youth for Christ. To accomplish these challenging goals we
use a variety of programs to provide youth the opportunity to give
their lives to Christ and to support Christian youth in reaching their
friends for Christ.
We believe that youth ministry begins in the home. The
parents of our youth play an active role in every aspect of the youth
ministry program. Only with our parents and active volunteers are we
able to offer a program of such magnitude.
Behind every program of the youth ministry stands an
unmovable commitment to our youth. We want their joy today and their
best hope for tomorrow. Therefore, we challenge our youth to discover a
rich and meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ.

MidAmerica Nazarene University with a degree in Youth and Family
Ministry. If you are wondering how to say his last name, it's
pronounced like furrier only with a P. Anthony
enjoys listening to music, playing guitar and any other instrument he
can try out, playing basketball, golf, and lots of other sports, and
Eating! If
you are a teen, Anthony would love to meet you, buy you a coke, or just
hang out. Feel free to call him anytime for any reason. Anthony
says this about his wife Julie:
"She is the most beautiful woman on earth, and is also a pretty cool
person to hang out with." And more than

the world. |
