FP Students is a space for 7-12th graders to find community as they learn to put Jesus First in their lives. We believe that tomorrow lives in the hearts of students today. Our goal is to journey with them for the long haul.

MIDWEEK
MIDWEEK is our weekly student worship service at both the Joplin and Carthage campuses. Every Wednesday night, students come together to play fun games, worship with their peers, and hear Bible teaching that connects to real life. It’s a night designed for students to grow in faith, find encouragement, and experience community while having a great time.
Student Life Camp 2026
Students completing grades 7–12 are invited to attend Student Life Camp at Lee University in Tennessee, June 1–5, 2026.
This week is intentionally designed to help students step away from distractions and focus on what matters most—growing in their relationship with Jesus. Through Christ-centered worship, biblical teaching, and meaningful small-group conversations, students are challenged to own their faith and encouraged by trusted leaders who walk alongside them throughout the week.
Beyond the sessions, students will build lasting friendships, experience a fun and safe campus environment, and create meaningful memories that often become spiritual milestones. Many students return from camp with renewed confidence in their faith and a deeper connection to the church community.
