FCC Youth ministry dedicated to the mission of the renewal of all things.

Wednesdays @ 6:30 PM | Upper Room

FCC Youth is a student ministry for ages 12–18 dedicated to the renewal of all things. Our vision: the renewal begins with us Re-Knowing:

  • Christianity as a Kingdom, not just a religion.

  • The Gospel as God’s Kingdom now, with Jesus on the throne.

  • Salvation as freedom from sin and worldly influences.

  • Evangelism as making disciples, not just converts.

  • Church as daily intentional community, not just Sunday hours.

We gather Wednesdays at 6:30 PM in the Upper Room for fellowship, worship, and the Word. Teens find belonging, growth, and lifelong friendships here—come join us and be part of the movement!

Hi, I’m Robert Silvas, and I’m thrilled to join First Christian Church as the Part-Time Youth Pastor. I’m passionate about guiding our junior high and high school students and partnering with those who support our youth ministry.

I got saved at age 12, growing up with a single mother who showed me the power of trusting God. After 29 years with the Department of Corrections, I retired in 2024 and now focus on ministry alongside my wife, Carolina. Our daughter Ivanna sings on the worship team, and our son Jentezen is active in youth group.

My goal in youth ministry is to:

  1. Reach students beyond the church walls.

  2. Teach God’s Word so they can apply it in their lives.

  3. Encourage them to use their gifts to impact the world.

  4. Build a supportive community where students feel valued.

  5. Inspire them to live as examples of Christ in their daily lives.
