SUMMER CAMP 2025 PODS
Your pod is who you'll compete with at the Team Challenge and Late Night portions of the day at Camp. The more team spirit you have, the more likely your team is to win!
NOTE: Your pod is not your cabin group or family group. We incorporated both groups to help build our pods, but they don't necessarily reflect who a student will be in a family group or cabin with.
First up, introducing the AQUA ACES! Your pod color is AQUA (wear baby blue or another light blue color to help differentiate you from the Navy and Royal Blue teams). Your pod name is ACES because you'll ace the competition (as a ministry, our mascot is the penguin, so add some penguin elements to your fit for team night).
Not to be outdone, introducing the SILVER SLEDDERS! Your pod color is SILVER (wear everything from grey to chrome... I've seen morph suits out there in this color in case you need some ideas). Your pod name is SLEDDERS because you'll slide right by anything standing in your way (trust me, I'm trying to be as cringe as possible with these captions). Again, as a student ministry, our mascot is the penguin, so add some penguin elements to your fit to help FBCD students stand out from the crowd.

OUR MISSION
Reaching the next generation is the heart beat of our student ministry. First Students provides Middle and High Schoolers with the opportunity to seek the Lord through various outlets that is centered around God’s word. We believe teenagers are are not only the future of our church, but they are the church!

Austin Dupper
Student Ministry Associate
James 1:2-3 is my favorite verse and it says, “Consider it PURE JOY whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.” Praise God that even in life’s most trying moments, we can still have JOY because of our hope in Jesus Christ and our eternal home in heaven. I grew up in Decatur, and went to high school down the street. I have a passion for prayer, the nation of Haiti, and discipling young men. I'd love to meet you and for you to join our biblical community!
Owen Meadows
Minister to Students
You know how the story goes, "I grew up in church, was raised by a loving family, then the Lord pulled me out of sin and into His new life for me when I heard the Gospel at a kids ministry puppet show!" No? Not your story? Well, that's mine! I'm a product of faithful members of a local church caring enough about the next generation to pray for, correct (a lot!), and disciple every step along the way as I've grown into a lifelong follower of Jesus. It's my life's goal right now to do the same for this next generation because 6th-12th graders aren't the church of the future, they're the church now! Contact me sometime, I'd love to meet you (omeadows@fbcdecatur.org | 334-275-2052)
(Psalm 78:1-8, Acts 1:8, Ephesians 4:11-16)!

Small Groups are a time to grow closer to one another while spending time building our Biblical foundation as believers.
