Student Ministry Director



Pastor Mark has said numerous times that we are only one generation away from Christianity becoming extinct.  That is why it is so important to reach and nurture the next generation.  It is important that we create faith that sticks as our youth head out on their own.  Based on research, somewhere between 50% and 70% of youth that are in a youth group will eventually walk away from church as they venture out on their own.  And contrary to belief, most of them will not come back to church.

That is why the Leadership Team recently approved making the Student Ministry Director a full-time position.

We have hired  Kelcey Snyder to be our new full-time Student Ministry Director, starting July 1.  Kelcey has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Religious Studies from Olivet Nazarene University.  He has served as Youth Leader at three different churches, most recently at Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Midland, Michigan.

Kelcey is very excited about the opportunity to guide our Student Ministry area and is eager to share his story with us all.

Welcome, Kelcey!
