Youth 6th-12th grades

Growing together.

Whoever you are, wherever you're from, you are welcome here.

First Christian Church – Huntsville’s Youth Ministries aim to foster spiritual growth and resilience among 6th–12th-grade students through a variety of biblically rooted programs. Monthly gatherings during the school year provide time for learning God’s Word, fellowship, and mission-projects. In addition to these regular meetings, participants engage in quarterly mission opportunities—such as summer camp at Camp Chandler in Wetumpka, Alabama, and a July missions camp in Panama City Beach, Florida focused on community service. The youth ministry also supports the church’s signature annual rummage sale each March, where all donations fund youth-missions efforts.

Rummage Sale

The annual First Christian Church Rummage Sale has become a Huntsville tradition. Rummage sale is held annually in March. Though the proceeds of the sale underwrite youth missions, the Rummage Sale is an effort of the entire church. Members store their gently-used treasures year-round, waiting for the week when they can bring in their donations. While youth and parents are hard at work in the evenings and on the weekends bookending Rummage Sale week, many of the people who sort and price merchandise.

Service Work

The FCC youth participate in monthly local mission work. These projects vary from collecting items, hands on work, and fundraising!
