First Baptist Students is built to help Junior High and High School students find and follow Jesus.

Our primary large gathering is on Wednesday Nights at 6:30 PM in our Activities Building. We experience a high-energy worship service followed by a powerful message straight from God's word, and then we break into Small Groups, which are small groups split up by grade that allow students the opportunity to digest the message and grow in their faith and community.
