FC YOUTH
We exist to direct students to the gospel of Jesus, develop them through the Word, and disciple them through life.
Wednesdays @ 6:30 PM and Sundays @ 9:30 AM | Upper Room
First Christian Youth is a junior high and high school ministry for ages 12-18. Our desire is to raise up a generation of godly young men and women that live passionately for Jesus and impact the world for His name. Apart from exhorting our students toward becoming Christian leaders, FC Youth also provides awesome community where teens find belonging and lifelong friendships.
We gather for Teen Night every Wednesday at 6:30 PM and Student Sundays at 9:30 AM in the Upper Room for fellowship, worship and the Word. We’d love to get to know your teen and walk with them through life!
Ashton Westmorland
Howdy there! My name is Ashton Westmoreland. I have lived in the Imperial Valley my whole life. My dad is a third-generation farmer, and my mom homeschooled me from kindergarten through high school. My parents were actually married at First Christian Church, so I grew up in this church. After graduating from high school in 2020, I attended Calvary Chapel Bible College for two years and received my diploma in Biblical Studies in the spring of 2022. After a gap year working on my dad’s farm, I went to Christian Encounter Ranch and served as an intern for six months, working with at-risk youth.
My goal for youth ministry is to raise up radical disciples of Christ so they may be the salt and light in whatever circumstance the Lord has called them to. With our team of youth sponsors and the church body’s support, I believe we can achieve this and raise up the next leaders of the church. I look forward to serving as the youth pastor here at FCC, and I ask for your prayers for me, the sponsors, and the students.
