Youth Ministry Update

Church Family,

We have some exciting things coming up in our youth ministry! On Friday, October 24, we’ll be hosting a Fifth Quarter Fellowship after the Cardinals football game. This will be a great time for students to relax, play games, eat, and enjoy fellowship in a Christ-centered environment. These gatherings give our students a place to belong — and remind them that faith and friendship can go hand in hand.

Then, looking ahead, mark your calendars for Purpose Weekend on November 22—23. This retreat will give our students time to slow down, connect deeply with God, and explore what it truly means to live with purpose. We’ll be focusing on how God’s plan for each of us is not an accident, but a calling to live for His glory every day.

Proverbs 19:21 reminds us, “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” As we plan events, build relationships, and walk with our students, our ultimate goal is not just activity — it’s transformation. We want to see hearts changed, faith strengthened, and lives aligned with God’s purpose.

Thank you for continuing to pray, serve, and encourage our youth. You are helping shape the next generation of believers to live boldy for Christ.

In Christ,
Cody Dowden
