Confirmation is an opportunity for 8th-grade students to become full members of First Presbyterian Church of Glen Ellyn. Students are invited to attend weekly meetings where no question or challenge to faith is off-limits. Our goal is to connect students to each other and to the church through a 9-month intentional discipleship pathway. If you know an 8th grader with questions about faith, this is the program for them. Register here today!

High School Ministry at First Pres is a place where students can be themselves, ask big questions, and find belonging in a community that feels like a weird and wonderful family. Each week we open the Bible together and explore what God has to say about real-world issues like mental health, technology, and food insecurity. Please be sure to register and complete the waivers.
TNT (Middle School Youth Group)

Middle School Youth Group (TNT) is our Wednesday evening program for junior high students. It’s a space where students grow in their relationship with God, build friendships, and connect with caring leaders and fellow middle schoolers. Each week, we explore who God is through worship, community, and the life and teachings of Jesus. After the main teaching time, we break into small groups to reflect on how these truths apply to everyday life. Please register and complete the waivers.

Be part of something bigger this fall at Sleep Out Saturday! We’ll join a community rally to stand with our neighbors experiencing homelessness, then come back to the church for games, food, and an unforgettable night sleeping outside. As we brave the cold together, we’ll reflect on what it means to follow Jesus’ call to love and serve others in need. Bring your sleeping bag, warm clothes, and a heart ready to live out your faith in a powerful way.
