Youth Department.

Youth classes are located on the third floor of the educational building. The teen years can be tough, but First Baptist Weaverville has classes tailored just for young people aged 13-18! Middle and High School youth learn about God’s plan for their lives and how they can apply Bible truths. Relevant Bible study, Biblical perspectives on teen-relevant issues, missions and service opportunities, and fellowship times to hang out are used to minister to our youth. Classes are held in youth-friendly rooms decorated by our youth members.
