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 is our weekly student worship experience at both our Joplin and Carthage campuses.
Every Wednesday night, students gather for a fun and engaging evening that includes games, worship, and Bible teaching that connects to real life.
Midweek is designed to help students grow in their relationship with Jesus, find community, and be encouraged in who God has created them to be—all in an environment that’s welcoming and enjoyable.
Midweek runs August through April.

Student Summer Camp 2026
Get Ready for an Unforgettable Week at FP Students Summer Camp!
Students completing grades 7–12 are invited to attend Super Summer at SBU in Bolivar, MO on June 15-19.
This week is intentionally designed to help students step away from distractions and lean into 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 build lasting friendships, experience a fun and safe campus environment, and create memories that often become spiritual markers in their lives. Many students return from camp with renewed confidence in their faith and a deeper connection to the church community.
We would love for your student to be part of this impactful week—don’t miss this opportunity for growth, connection, and transformation. Register today!
