At Fox Valley Presbyterian Church we have two youth groups. Fisher Folk is for middle school youth (grades 6-8). Our high school youth group (grades 9-12) is called the Fellowship of the Carpenter, or FOTC. Both groups take part in three different types of activities.

Fellowship activities where we experience God’s love for us as we have fun hanging out with each other.

Lessons where we grow in our faith and community as we consider different topics in small groups.

Service projects where we are putting our faith into action as we serve others in Christ.

Our goal is that everyone would experience God’s love, grow in their faith and learn how to serve others.

If you have questions about the youth ministries below or other family and youth ministries of Fox Valley Presbyterian Church, please contact Aaron Shoppa, Director of Children, Youth, and Family Ministries, (630) 232-7448.

 
 

Fisher Folk

Fisher Folk, sometimes just called FF, is a group for middle schoolers. It normally takes places on Sunday evenings from 4:00pm to 5:30pm and our 3 core truths help guides the lessons and activities we participate in.

  1. I am chosen by God to be an important part of the family of God and I am adopted by God through the grace of Jesus Christ.

  2. I am created beautifully just as I am and I grow in my faith through spiritual practices.

  3. I am called to put God first, others second, and myself third.

Fellowship of the
Carpenter

Fellowship of the Carpenter, normally called FOTC, is our high school youth group. In normally takes places on Sunday evening from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm and runs from September to June. Highlights of our annual summer activities include a week-long Go ‘N’ Serve mission trip and a national youth conference. The activities and lessons are guided by our three core truths.

  1. I am chosen by God to begin following God’s plan, and I am adopted as God’s beloved child through the grace of Jesus Christ.

  2. I am created by God to fulfill the good plans God has for my life and to grow in my faith through spiritual practices.

  3. I am called by God to live my life in obedience to God and in service to others as an ambassador of faith, hope and love.
