    "This is our pivotal moment to serve the church"

    This is our pivotal moment to serve the church by creatively re-imagining youth ministry yet again. I believe the cultural conditions are right for us to experience the greatest youth revival our generation has ever seen. God has given us the right team to do this—and His hand is clearly on our mission.

    "I wouldn’t be who I am today without the ministry of Campus life"

    When a student looks to me with vulnerability in their eyes and is trusting in me to guide them in their faith and lead them closer to God, it is such a privilege. In reality, sometimes, I 'm struggling with my own relationship with God and realizing I need them just as much as they need me to stay on the right path. God is excellent, and the way he brought me to be part of Campus Life as an adult leader was knowing exactly what I needed in my life and what these students needed to draw closer to him. I wouldn’t be who I am today without the ministry of Campus life when I was in high school and now as an adult.

    "It's challenging but fulfilling"

    It's challenging, exhausting, and stressful, but fulfilling having the chance to fill in where I can in working with City Life providing programming and activities to reach kids with the Gospel. Mostly I enjoy being relational with kids. Thank you to the City Life staff and BIGJAWs for providing me an opportunity to be a part of something so meaningful to me and hopefully meaningful to a group of students I've grown to love and enjoy.
