Montreat Youth Conference (Rising 9th through graduating Seniors)
Montreat Youth Conference affirms youth in their calling to be and to shape the church of Jesus Christ. Our desire is to help youth come to know and believe that they are the beloved of God and to be a place where authenticity, community, connection, and God’s truth thrive. We seek to be an inclusive space where each voice can be heard and where each heart can be molded; where change is invited, challenge is expected, and where all are embraced.” FPC youth love this traditon! We stay in a house in beautiful Montreat, NC and share together the wonderful experience that is MYC! Through keynote and worship, small group and recreation time, we have a wonderful week growing and learning together! Learn more about Montreat Youth Conference

Presbytery of East Tennessee Retreats
FPC Youth regularly participate in events coordinated by the Presbytery of East Tennessee. This is a great opportunity for youth to meet and fellowship with their peers from across the region.

FPC Youth also have many additional wonderful fellowship and service opportunities throughout the year. This is a great way to get plugged into the youth program and really see what we are all about. In the past we have packed snack bags for our neighbors at the bus station, had a movie night on our turnip patch, and the classic lock-in at our church. Stay tuned to the church calendar on our webpage or the Thursday newsletter to see when these events are happening.

For questions about First Presbyterian Youth, please contact Andy Morgan at amorgan@fpcknox.org or call the church office at (865) 546-2531.
