Youth Ministries
“Youth Group”
The FPC Youth Group is comprised of 6th-12th grade students. Now that the acute phase of the COVID pandemic is past, we’re experimenting with different options in terms of when to meet, how often, where, etc. Please call the church 507-282-1618 to get the most current meeting information. Also check our Facebook page devoted to Youth activities (click here).
Aside from those details, our purpose for Youth Fellowship is to engage in a variety of activities including discussing the Bible, working on service projects for the church and local community, playing games, and just having fun together! Any youth from the Rochester community and surrounding areas is welcome to join in the fun. Church membership is NOT REQUIRED to attend! It’s also open to friends of FPC youth members.
Throughout the year the youth group offers special events, outings, and community service projects. In the past these events have included:
Visit to a local apple orchard (Fall)
Snowtubing at Ironwood Springs (Winter)
Helping host & serve the Annual FPC Easter Brunch
River tubing (Zumbro or Root River)
Lock-in with other area youth
Service Projects (previously: Feed My Starving Children and Sole Hope)
Outings to Escape Rooms, Bowlocity, and the movies!
Connect with the Youth Group on Facebook, learn more, or see the church calendar of events.
If you have any questions about youth programming, please contact us via email or call (507) 282-1618.
