	Youth Ministry The goal of FPC's youth ministry is to build relationships … with each other and also with God. We are going to do this, hopefully, by having a whole lot of fun and getting to know each other really well. We want to build a close community of young people who feel safe within our ministry and who want to be a part of it.
