First Congregational Church
Rooted in God's Love, nourished on our spiritual journeys, and growing as an inclusive Christian presence in Northern Colorado and beyond.
Hey There!
We are so excited to catch your interest in FCC Youth! Our youth ministry focuses on building a space and community where grades 6-12 (or equivalent ages) can hang out, explore their faith, ask questions, and have a great time. Our team is committed to affirming and welcoming the many unique qualities that youth have. Please feel free to reach out to us if you're curious about any of our programming!

​
​​​​​Confirmation! ​
We are so excited to begin our Confirmation journey for the 2025-2026 program year. We are trying something a little different! You may complete confirmation by the end of this program year by meeting all of the curriculum requirements. If you will still be in high school, you can spread your journey out through the 2027-2028 program year!
​
Facilitated by Rev. Tamara Torres McGovern and Brooklyn McBride, Confirmation is designed to support high school students in their spiritual formation. Curious, seekers, believers, people of faith
and people of no faith at all - no matter who you are
or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here!
What to learn more about what Confirmation might look like this year?
Sunday Morning
Youth sit together during the 10 a.m. service before heading out for youth group.
Sunday Afternoon
​Youth (6th grade to 12th grade) are invited to share in lunch, spiritual formation, and then a time of small group fellowship or other programming for youth after church until 1 p.m. during the school year. Contact Brooklyn for more details.
