Junior and Senior High Youth Groups!
We'd like to thank you for visiting our site! We hope you find all of the information you need on our programs and events. If you still have questions, please contact our Youth Director, Heather Rey, by email or call 815-727-9259 ext. 210.
Our Youth Groups are for both junior and senior high students in grades 6-12. Teens are a vital part of the faith community at FPJ. We strive for our youth to develop their personal relationships with Christ, and each other, in a Christian environment through fun, fellowship, worship, and service. Our programs provide a safe harbor for Christian fellowship for our youth, led by staff and adult advisors. We nurture spiritual development by keeping kids in touch with Christ, and developing creative fellowship, outreach and mission opportunities. They participate in overnight "lock-ins" and full-scale retreats which give them the opportunity to grow together in their knowledge of faith and each other. Some form friendships that last their lifetime.
We spent the week doing LOTS of different projects within the area, including serving a meal at Morningstar Mission, painting a room for a mom with a small child, yard work at Joliet Hospice House and building a "Cadillac" Sandbox for the children at Lamb's Fold! We also had lots of fun including: a trip to Splash Station Waterpark, a trip downtown to Navy Pier, devotions, hang-out time and much more!
