FBCD Youth
Growing in faith, friendship, and purpose together.
For Students & Parents
A place to know Jesus and belong
FBCD Youth serves students in grades 6–12 through biblical teaching, worship, friendships, prayer, and opportunities to serve. We encourage graduates to help lead the next generation as they transition into adult classes.
Our goal is to encourage students to pursue an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church, embrace the power of the gospel, and follow the Holy Spirit with surrendered hearts.

Your First Visit
Come through the front doors
Continue down the hall to the Youth Room. A youth leader or the youth pastor will welcome new students, and our students are encouraged to help visitors feel at home.
Check-in is not currently required, and a parent does not need to accompany a student inside. Parents are always welcome to contact Trey before a first visit.
What happens at Youth Group?
We begin with fellowship—games, food, and time to hang out. Students then worship, study God’s Word together and in small groups, pray, and take part in student-led activities.
