Christian Education Mission Statement

If we have organization and apply our imagination, we will build a Christian Ed foundation.

​We in Christian Ed are already thinking ahead to Fall and planning a new classroom and looking for exciting people to teach and help one Sunday a month starting in September.

Youth Group

Youth Group is offered for both Middle School and High School students.  The group meets the First and Third Sundays of the month, in addition to fellowship and service activities throughout the year.

Meetings are from 5:00-7:00pm on the First and Third Sundays of the month during the School year.

Youth Groups focus on developing friendships and forming faith in our young people. Leaders encourage honest discussions and offer a safe space to talk about school, family, and faith.  Annual retreats, youth-led worship services, and mission projects also foster lasting bonds among the group members.

Past Events

Breakout Room
The Youth Group went to a new and fun site with Drayton Avenue’s Youth Group called the Breakout Room! Everyone had a wonderful time - even the adults!
Souper Bowl of Caring
February 7th, First Church had its annual Souper Bowl of Caring. All proceeds went to St. Mark Pantry in Macomb County. It was great to see so many kids helping out and many brought their friends along. Currently we raised $389.00.

Gleaners Food Bank
​Six Youth Group members went to Gleaners Food Bank in Detroit with Drayton Avenue in January to volunteer.

Here's what Gleaners had to say:
Thank you for volunteering with the Gleaners Community Food Bank Kids Helping Kids program! We are extremely grateful for the hard work provided by your group. 

During your visit, your group managed 4,000 pounds of food which equates to 3,320 meals!  Your support makes it possible for us to reach our goal of distributing more than 40 million pounds of food to our hungry neighbors in Southeastern Michigan every year.

I’d love to hear any thoughts you have to share about your experience with Gleaners, or if you’d like to get more involved with Gleaners.

We’ll be sure to keep you up-to-date with upcoming volunteer opportunities and what’s going on with Gleaners in the community.

It was so good to see all of you – and to be the one telling Donna what to do for once! ;)

I will see you soon I am sure!
