RETREATS
FALL, WINTER & SPRING RETREATS
Retreats are offered in the fall and spring of each year for both Middle School and High School groups. Ski trips (High School only) are taken in the Winter. Retreats give students the opportunity to get away for the weekend, usually in the mountains, from our busy lives and enjoy paintball, rope courses, fellowship, quiet time, music, and worship. For our 9th – 12th grade students, we’ll have an awesome time of games, singing, good food, worship, outdoor activities, and funny skits. We hope you’ll join us! For more information, please call 843.448.4496.
MISSIONS
SUMMER MISSION TRIPS
Each summer our High School students travel all over to share the love of Christ by performing service projects in other communities around the country, even the world. In the past, we have traveled to Louisiana, West Virginia, Jamaica, Tennessee, Nicaragua, Mexico, and New York to assist with Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts. Our students have built or repaired homes, dug trenches for water lines, hung drywall, painted, and performed landscaping. During the week students work doing construction and repair work on houses and buildings. In the afternoon and evenings, they sing, meet as a group, listen to speakers, and have quiet time with the Lord each morning. For more information, please call 843.448.4496.
CONFERENCE
YOUTH CONFERENCE
Each summer our High School students travel to Montreat Conference Center in the beautiful mountains of western North Carolina. To register and obtain all the necessary forms and guidelines, please call, 843.448.4496.
SUNDAYS
YOUTH LITURGIST
Sunday Mornings
Each Sunday, we are blessed to have our high school students serve as youth liturgists. Through this ministry, our youth become more confident worship leaders as well as public speakers! The coordinators of this ministry would like to encourage all youth in grades 9-12 to consider serving in this meaningful way. Contact our church office, 843.448.4496, if you would like to serve.
THE WAVE @ FPC

WEEKDAYS
IMPACT GROUPS
High School Small Groups
These small groups are based on age and gender and meet according to the needs of those participating. Typically meeting every week, these groups are shepherded by adults and student leaders and tend to meet for breakfast or in the evening at a restaurant or the home of a leader or participant’s family. These meetings focus on building community and creating a time of fellowship in addition to devotion/Bible study. Impact groups frequently participate in other fellowship opportunities as a group.
