Julie Bohn

Leader of Children, Youth, & Family Ministries

Believing that the family is a fundamental spiritual unit, Julie seeks to get families connected to each other, the church, and to Christ. She works to help children and families grow spiritually and form a solid foundation in Jesus. She recognizes that gaining and maintaining this foundation is needed now more than ever, and that this can be achieved much more successfully with the support of a strong Christian community. 

Julie is originally from Colorado where she loved going hiking, she loves writing novels that she hopes to one day publish, is the aunt to an adorable niece and nephew, and loves playing volleyball! 

A former nanny and creative writing teacher, Julie has worked with children for many years. She began working with the First Parish youth group in 2018 before her role expanded to include children, youth, and families in 2023. Julie received her BA in English Language & Literature from Southern New Hampshire University. 

 

Sunday School

At Sunday School, children explore God’s Word through engaging lessons, crafts, and activities that bring each week’s worship theme to life. Classes are designed to inspire and nurture faith in children of all ages, from infants to middle schoolers.

Classroom Breakdown:

  • Infants & Toddlers: Our team of teachers provide caring supervision and engaging activities with a wide variety of toys and books.
  • Preschool–Kindergarten: Fun and interactive lessons that introduce God’s love and foundational Bible stories.
  • Grades 1–5: Hands-on activities and in-depth discussions tailored to young learners as they grow in their faith.
  • Middle School (Grades 6–8): A welcoming space for preteens to connect, ask questions, and deepen their understanding of God’s Word.

180 Wednesdays

180 Wednesdays offer an evening (6-8pm) of connection and growth for children in grades K–8. The night begins with fellowship over dinner and games, creating a joyful and welcoming environment. From there, kids engage in activities designed to help them explore Scripture and see how God’s Word applies to their daily lives. Childcare is also available for infants and toddlers.

Youth Group

At FPCC Youth, we’re dedicated to building a Christ-centered community during these important years of growth. Students in grades 6–12 gather every Thursday night from 6:30–8:00 PM for an evening filled with games, fellowship, and meaningful small group lessons that speak directly to their lives and faith journeys.

Come be part of a group where friendships are formed, faith is strengthened, and Christ is at the center of it all!
