For more details, contact Tanner Spears, Director of Youth Ministry.
Each year in June, our Senior High youth travel to a destination in the US, helping communities through home repair, childcare and a myriad of helpful care.

For the past 10 years, FCCGE has provided our 7th – 12th grade youth the opportunity to study human sexuality using the life-span comprehensive resource of Our Whole Lives, which provides information that is age-appropriate, medically-accurate, immediately relevant and also applicable for later life. The Our Whole Lives ministry emphasizes and underscores the values of love, mutuality, self-worth, health, responsibility, justice and inclusivity and is taught by trained and certified staff and lay leaders of our congregation. Our Whole Lives is open to youth from 7th – 12th grades, both to youth from our congregation and youth who are friends of the church. Please contact Catherine Curtis (630.469.3096 X 23) Director of Christian Education.
