The opportunity to reach, teach, and preach to the next generation is a responsibility that I do not take lightly. With every worldly influence imaginable attacking our youth, it is my desire to see students sold out to a relationship with Christ.
As the youth pastor at Family Worship Assembly, I look forward to seeing the message of Christ carried forth to all corners of Black River Falls and Jackson county. The vision that God has placed in my heart is that of hope. Hope for students who are struggling to know that there is a place that welcomes them and loves them. A place that encourages them to make the right choices. Most importantly, a place that pushes them to pursue a lifelong relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
I love spending time with people! I love seeing those relationships blossom into opportunities to tell them about MY JESUS! MY JESUS is the Son of God who came for ME. He saw my face as he took the sins of the world on his back. As He drank the cup of wrath that I deserved, he thought of ME. The most wonderful thing is... He also saw YOU! He also thought of YOU! Because of his love, grace, and mercy, I can now stand someday in heaven, spotless and blamefree!
My goal is to see all people come to intimately know MY JESUS! When you go from just HIM looking at YOU, to, YOU actually seeing HIM too, your life will forever be changed!
