Youth and Family Ministries

Nurturing Faith that Lasts a Lifetime

Our Youth and Family Ministries are the foundation of FCC River Edge with a focus on children, family and

community engagement through faith development programs, fellowship and mission.

"Tots to Teen" Youth Ministry

We offer a vibrant and creative church school program that starts at 3 years old and culminates with Confirmation. Our program forms lasting church school relationships with their classmates and the congregation while discovering their faith together. We do this through:

  • creative programs to allow the children to discover and celebrate what God has given us

  • Keeping traditions alive with special youth services that began generations ago

  • Intergenerational events that are fun and meaningful for all ages

  • Weekly participation in Pastor Joe’s children’s message that teach life lessons that both children — and adults — can relate to

Our FCC Youth Group for 12-17 year olds helps build lasting relationships and creates faithful memories through meaningful conversation and fun activities. Movie nights, game nights, fire pit chats, “Friendsgiving” and holiday parties are just a few of the special events. At FCC River Edge, we believe the more the merrier and we encourage our youth to bring their friends outside the church too, in the healthy fellowship.

Family Ministry

Our family ministry is the core of our congregation. Nurturing families though faith based programs and family friendly events extend out to our community as well. Whether it is. a day trip, a baseball game, Vacation Bible School or an Easter Egg Hunt or Pumpkin carving, all are invited. You will learn more abut upcoming events on our calendar or church news letter "Congregator" on this website or through social media.

FCC River Edge youth delight our congregation at our annual Christmas pageant and in special services throughout the year.

FCC River Edge youth are important and heard -- in worship service and in their classrooms.
