Youth Ministry
TFBC Youth is for students in 7th–12th grade and is led by our Youth Director, Stephen Van Vleck.
We believe students are not just the future of the church. They are part of the church right now. Our desire is to help students know Jesus, follow Jesus, and grow as spiritual leaders in their homes, schools, friendships, and community.
Through Sunday morning classes, midweek gatherings, small groups, service opportunities, and caring adult leaders, we want to meet students where they are and help them take their next step with Jesus.

What to Expect
TFBC Youth is a place where students are welcomed, known, and encouraged to grow in their relationship with Jesus.
We want every student to know that they belong, that they matter, and that God is forming them into the kind of person who can love Him and love people in real life.
Through teaching, small groups, caring adult leaders, service opportunities, and honest conversations, we help students take their next step with Jesus. Our goal is not just that students would know more about God, but that they would learn to walk with Jesus, become more like Him, and live out their faith at home, at school, with friends, and in the community.

Love without conditions.
Life without limits.
Camp Attitude is an accessible summer camp for families with children who experience physical and cognitive diagnoses.
Located on the banks of the South Santiam River in Foster Oregon, Camp Attitude is a special place where they are committed to changing lives, one camper at a time.
Our ministry here is best reflected as Faith Through Action.
This Ministry Trip is designed to encourage growth for teens who follow Jesus. Each of our students will be paired with a special needs camper of the same gender or a younger (10 years and under) sibling of a special needs camper. Our role is to be their “Buddy” for the week they are at camp. We get to share the love of Jesus with these campers and their family.
Dates: July 11-17, 2026 | 7-12 Grade | $225 per participant | Some Scholarships Available
