As amazing as Pastor Rich is he can't do it all alone. So, that is where we come in.
The youth leaders all work together to try to help Pastor Rich in any way that we can. He can't be in all places at all time so thats why he has us. We have the honor of praying with the youth, getting to know them, acting as chaperones on trips or activities, and offering support and guidance when needed. I am proud to be a youth leader. Soat's why he has us. It is an awesome experience to work with such amazing teenagers. Sometimes I believe we learn as much from the youth as they do from us. The youth leaders all Love the Lord, Love PR and Trish and Love the teenagers. (Of course, the fact that none of us is really ready to grow up yet doesn't hurt either).
We have an awesome youth drama team. They perform a number of different type dramas - from sign language, human video, plays and so forth. Recently, they have been honored to perform in several concerts with the Christian Rock group Seven Dayz Straight. The kids work very hard and do an outstanding job. They are getting ready for Fine Arts now and are already making plans to go to Nationals in August. Check out my drama team page for more information and pictures.
We have the best Puppet team in GA maybe even the entire Country. Pastor Wes has done puppets since he was very young. He is amazing! He works with both the youth and the children on the puppet team. They are getting ready to start practicing for Fine Arts and this year they will go to Nationals in August. Check out my Kingz Kids page for more information on our awesome puppet team.
Jason is our new activities/sports director and a future youth leader. He will be organizing football, basketball and other activities to give the youth an opportunity to hang out and work off some energy.
Josh is one of our youth. He is in charge of the tech staff which is a group of youth that set up for youth services then clean up and reset everything to get ready for church services every week. They work very hard to make sure that everything runs smoothly and stays organized.
Olean is a one of our youth. Fellowship is important and almost every Sunday Night a number of the youth will get together and go out to eat at a local restaurant or invade someone's home and hang out for an hour or two. Olean has been blessed with the task of planning these afterglows and communicating it to everyone.
Seven Dayz Straight is a Christian Rock Group and we are truly blessed to have them perform our praise and worship in our youth services on Wednesday nights. They are a major asset to our youth services. God is really working thru their music and I believe he is using them to touch many lives.
