This year FEC Student Ministries will have a strong focus on building Biblical community, teaching our students how to engage scripture, and giving our students the opportunity to live out the gospel. We believe that through these three components we will strive to accomplish our mission; To glorify Jesus Christ and magnify His gospel in the lives of students until He comes.

IRL Weekend
Friday–Sunday, March 3–5, Pinecrest Camp & Retreat Center, Moscow, TN Cost: $135
This In Real Life (IRL) retreat is a time where middle and high school students get to enjoy camp life for a few days while focusing on the application of faith in our daily lives as we strive to live out the truth that those who follow Jesus have been adopted into His family. This weekend will surely be an enriching time for our students learning how God grows us and being in community with one another. On Saturday, the high school will be taking a hiking trip for the day.
Student Life Camp

Students will be attending a week long conference-style camp where we will be led in worship by Vertical Worship and will hear from session speakers Kris Dolberry and David Platt.

Midweek
Wednesday, August 10–May 4, 6:15–8:00 p.m.
Impact (6th–8th grade), E226 | Common Ground (9th–12th grade), E202
Midweek is a place for students to meet together and have the opportunity to grow in their relationship with Jesus, their friends, and their adult small group leaders. Each week we meet to connect with one another through food, worship, teaching, and small group time. We are in our series called, “Four Chair,” all about the Four Chair Discipleship method.
Romania Mission Trip
Friday–Sunday, July 14–23
We have committed to sending a team of high school students and adults to Romania to serve with Dan and Emma Onu this summer. This team will be serving in a children’s camp by sharing the gospel with those who have not yet heard the good news of Jesus. We are grateful for this opportunity and hope that through being faithful to the Lord that lives will be saved. Students will be able to apply to attend this trip.
