MANHATTAN
FIRST YOUTH
Our Manhattan First Youth meets every Wednesday night and kicks off at 7pm. Our youth group is a safe space where your teenager can find a place to belong, and learn all about the Lord. We are all about loving God and loving people here at Manhattan First youth!
Manhattan First Youth is the student ministry at Manhattan First for all 6th-12th graders. It is led by Pastor Megan Allen, along with her team of leaders. Students are encouraged to put God first in their lives, and to love those around them passionately and selflessly. As one of our students put it: “we don’t just learn about God; we experience Him.”
We have several committed leaders that play a vital role. They embrace students where they are at, and call out the God given gifts in them. They also tremendously help Pastor Megan as she follows where the Lord is leading. Manhattan First Youth would not be what it is without these adults who are so compassionate for students and have such a willing heart to serve and see God made first in their lives.
Meet the Manhattan First Youth Leaders:
Pastor Megan
Hi I’m Pastor Megan! I am the youth and children’s pastor here at Manhattan First. Jesus radically changed my life through growing up at Manhattan First. My desire is that your children and youth will look back on this time of their life and be able to say the same thing.
Brock Meo is a college student who for the last several years has chosen to invest in our middle and high schoolers. He is a kind young man who honors the Lord in his daily life and chooses to pour into those around him. We are so thankful our Manhattan First Youth students get to hang around such a quality guy! Here are a couple fun facts about Brock: You know him as Brock but others of us call him nicknames like "Bee-rock" or "Broccoli." He is down for a road trip and if he picked the snack it would be Pringles, unless he's driving then they are too hard to eat, so his second choice is baked lays chips. Come hang out with us on Wednesday nights at 7pm and you'll get to meet Brock too.

Felicity Jordan
Felicity is a student at Manhattan Christian College and also maintains a position at the Pottawatomie Clerks Office. Her desire is to go and do whatever God asks her to while constantly deepening her relationship and knowledge of Him. As of now, she feels God will have her focus on youth ministry by utilizing horses. When asked about volunteering with our Manhattan First Youth, she said, “I chose to be a youth leader because while I was talking with Pastor Megan, I felt that God was prompting me to get involved.” Felicity is a young adult full of passion for the Lord and a desire to be committed to whatever He has for her life. Her favorite road trip snack is Chex Mix and she is an avid Phineas and Ferb cartoon watcher!
