FPC Austin

Youth

This Is Your Space.

From movies to mission projects, Bible study to board games, this group of teens knows how to connect at church and offline.

Where Faith Meets the Real World

Middle school and high school are a lot. FPCA is a place to put some of that down for a while.

Whether you’re full of questions, looking for community, or just ready for a good game of Ding Dong Hockey, youth at FPCA are met where they are, taken seriously, and welcomed into something real.

Sunday Nights

Youth gather every Sunday night from 5:30 to 7:30 pm in the Youth Room for dinner, discussion, and whatever the week calls for. Middle and high school groups come together first, then split for small group time. Grades 6 through 12 are always welcome.

The topics are real and the conversations go places. So do the games. Watermelon Olympics, Ding Dong Hockey, movie nights, and mission projects are all part of the rhythm. Every gathering ends with prayer together.

Retreats

Youth at FPCA love getting away.

Retreats are a chance to step back from homework and screens and go deeper with each other and with God.

  • John Knox Ranch
  • Jr. High Jubilee at Mo-Ranch
  • Sr. High Celebration at Mo-Ranch
  • Mid-Winter Retreat
  • Confirmation Retreat (8th and 9th graders)

Mission

Youth don't just learn about serving. They do it.

Throughout the year, youth show up for the Austin Diaper Bank, collect food for the Souper Bowl of Caring, and work alongside Manos de Cristo at their Back-to-School event. The summer mission trip is the highlight of the year for many.

All-Church Events

Youth are a vital part of FPCA’s all-church life, and some events wouldn’t be the same without them.

Trunk-or-Treat

Youth go all out decorating trunks and running the costume parade for younger kids. It’s one of the most anticipated events of the fall.

Easter Egg Hunt

On the Saturday before Easter, youth help make the annual egg hunt happen for the youngest members of the community.

Water Mania and Playground Gatherings

All-church fun throughout the year, from yard games and pancake breakfasts to popsicles on the playground.

All-Church Retreat at Mo-Ranch

Families, singles, retirees, and youth all make the trip to the Texas Hill Country together each spring. A weekend worth clearing your schedule for.

Fellowship on the First

On the first Sunday of every month, stay after worship and share a meal with the whole community. A great way for families with teens to find their people.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." — Philippians 4:6-7
