Wednesday

Youth Walk Every Wednesday, young people of Student Impact, the youth ministry of Phoenix First, meet in the Youth Pavilion at 7:00 p.m. for a night of excitement, music, worship, challenge and interaction. Wednesday â€œfuelâ€ is a youth experience unlike any in the entire Valley. Every week is powerful, starting with the amazing youth worship band and moving into a relevant, exciting teaching that is sure to affect all who attend. The night ends with students breaking into â€œfuelâ€ life groups where young people connect with the Word and with each other. The night is filled with lights, atmosphere, video and other media to make it a youth experience that canâ€™t be missed. Special guests, rally nights and concerts are also thrown in as just one more reason to make Wednesday â€œfuelâ€ part of your weekly schedule.

Sunday

Nothing compares to Sunday at Phoenix First for young people. It all starts with IGINTION -â€a whole new way of doing churchâ€ where our Jr High and High school groups meet in the Youth Pavilion at 10:45 a.m. for worship an fun before breaking into their own high octane meetings. Sunday is designed to reach students at their point of need and uses all available tools to do so. Music, drama, dynamic messages and student involvement of all kinds, help make Sunday morning a life changing experience.

Youth Worship It doesnâ€™t stop there. Sunday AfterDark, touted by Phoenix magazine as one of the 20 places to be in the Valley after the sun goes down, has evolved into a full-blown youth happening. Students and young adults alike invade the sanctuary for a night unequalled anywhere in the nation. The worship, the charged atmosphere, the state of the art light shows and media presentations, not to mention the â€œin your grillâ€ challenge from Pastor Barnett and world renowned guests, make this night a must for all young people.

The Student Impact ministry groups meet on Sunday at 9:00 am.

Any student seeking challenge in their daily walk with Christ is encouraged to join our â€œYouth Masters Commissionâ€ group, LAMPAS. They meet throughout the entire school year, serving the youth ministry and the church, taking mission trips, ministering in churches, growing in personal discipleship and service. Lampas is life changing. BAND OF BROTHERS also meets at 9:00 training or young men to become men of God. The curriculum is inspired by the works of Dr. Edwin Lois Cole, father of the modern day Christian Menâ€™s Movement and author of â€œMaximized Manhood.â€ Bloom Academy meets at 9:00 also and is established as a class for young ladies, training them to become Women of Virtue. Every girl should make Bloom Academy part of their weekly routine.

The meetings are only the â€œtip of the icebergâ€ of all that is available to Students who are part of Student Impact. Monthly events and youth conferences, exciting trips, retreats and camps. The Fine Arts program is known nationwide as one of the foremost places to train students in all of the areas of ministry arts. The world class drama and music departments of Phoenix First lead the way in commitment to help our students cultivate their talents and use them for the glory of God.

It is easy to see that young people are the most valued treasure at PFA, and we will continue to do all that is necessary to insure that our students have a place where they can grow in â€œwisdom and stature and favor with God and manâ€ (Luke 2:52).
