The goals of youth ministry in First Presbyterian Church are:
To call young people to be disciples of Jesus Christ.
To respond to the needs and interests of young people.
For youth and adults to work together in partnership.
To be connected with the whole church, community and world.
To include all young people, reaching out and inviting them to belong to the community of faith.
