Youth Ministry

Serve. Grow. Belong.

The FBCW Youth Ministry exists to be a community that supports young people during the formative adolescent years. We empower and equip young people in middle and high school to live the amazing life God calls them to by walking alongside them as they discover who God made them to be. We pray and play together, serve and explore together, and support one another, providing a safe place for youth to belong and be part of something bigger than ourselves.

Get connected! Contact Rev. Josh Godwin, Minister to Students.

On Sunday mornings we have two Bible study groups, middle school and high school. Students are encouraged and challenged as they navigate the journey of being teenagers and followers of Jesus Christ.

Sunday Evenings
5:30PM - 7:00PM
FBC Activity Center

Sunday nights we meet in The Cove for a snack supper, fun games, worship and Bible study. Come and hang out with friends (or meet new ones) as together we learn how to love God more and to love others better.

Wednesday Evenings
Seasonal | 6:15PM - 7:30PM
FBC Activity Center

Wednesday evening CrossTraining for students features small group conversations led by dedicated adult leaders. These give us the chance to deepen our faith and spend time with more focused portions of our Student Ministry community.

Rev. Josh Godwin

Minister to Students

I joined the FBC staff in 2023 to minister with this great group of students and families, bringing over 10 years of experience to this fun and fantastic work. I love walking alongside young people as they navigate faith through adolescence and start figuring out who they were made to be. My wife (Alyssa) and I, along with our two sons (Max and Teddy) love this town, this church, and all her people.
