"FCC Student Ministry exists to create an environment where students are making a 180-degree turn from the confusion and clamor of the world to the clarity and contentment of a relationship with Christ that compels them to Live On Purpose."
We are working to create a healthy and safe environment where students, both Christian and non-Christian, will experience life change by daily making a 180-degree turn from sin so they will Live On Purpose.
Putting feet to this mission statement happens most at oneighty, our weekly large group meeting. We meet every Wednesday from 6:45 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. The basic format includes some hang out time (our youth room has a popcorn machine, drinks/goodies at cafe_oneighty, pool, ping pong, and air hockey tables, and board and video games), some group games/mixers, a time of worship where we sing, pray, and read scripture, a teaching message from Tommy Staggs, Minister of Youth & Family Life, and a small-group discussion time.
In addition to these ongoing ministries, we participate in many special activities and events:
- Mission trips through "YouthWorks!" (Nashville, South Dakota, etc.)
- Occasional Service Projects, including our monthly "Second Saturday Service Project" in partnership with our "Men In Action" Men's Ministry (which happens, obviously, on the second Saturday of each month. See the Church Calendar for details)
- Lock-ins and Retreats (Fall oneighty Kick-Off at Long View Ranch in nearby Mosheim, occasional ski/Spring retreat)
- Ministry Impact Teams (Welcome/Hospitality Crew, Worship Band, Cafe 180 Team)
These are meant to be the types of activities that supplement our regular ministries in ways that create special memories and help provide a laboratory for developing a faith that expresses itself in practical ways.
Please pray with us as we endeavor to see God make these types of changes in our ministry and let us know if you have interest in helping!
