Get Connected with First Presbyterian Youth
There are many ways for youth ages 6th grade to 12th to get connected at FPC. Most youth classes and gatherings take place in the youth area on the 4th floor of our building. Please email Katelyn Finch at kfinch@fpcknox.org to get more info, and stay connected our church calendar, our weekly newsletter and to our youth email list for teaching, fellowship, and service opportunities.

The biggest thing that I love about FPC is the community and fellowship. You get to interact and have so much fun with people from ages 4 to 104. I love our community because everyone is always smiling and has the best welcoming embrace. We celebrate God’s son Jesus by practicing what he teaches, love. The FPC community is full of love. And I don’t think that will ever change.
