Our Whole Lives (“OWL”)

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 Danny Harman (630.469.3096 X 28) Director of Youth Ministry.
