New School Year, New Encounters With Jesus

By Jonathan Thonglom, Youth Pastor

Student ministries had an amazing Student Fall Kickoff a couple of weeks ago! 5 new students were welcomed to our church. 7 students decided to own their faith in Jesus Christ. 23 students showed up to encounter Jesus.

We were in our second week of our Series: “Underrated,” a message that taught students to realize that they can’t control the way others act, but they can control the way they act in response. This message was based on 1 Timothy 4:12 NIV:

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

Students left feeling that they had Jesus on their side to help them set an example for others and take care of their faith in Him. 

We want to continue to reach teenagers in this confusing world for Jesus Christ. Here is a list of events that we are having at the church this year that focus on reaching teenagers for Christ.
