YOUTH MINISTER’S UPDATE

Church Family,

This past week, Pastor Keith’s message from 2 Corinthians 2:14 was a powerful reminder that, in Christ, we do not share the gospel from a place of fear or uncertainty—we share from a place of victory. Because of what Jesus has already accomplished, we are able to confidently represent Him wherever we go. Scripture tells us that God leads us in triumph in Christ and spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of Him through us. What an incredible picture of how our lives can point others to Jesus.

This truth is especially important for our students to understand. As they grow in their faith, we want them to see that sharing the gospel is not about having all the right words or being perfect. Instead, it flows from the victory we already have in Christ. When we live with that confidence, our lives naturally become a testimony of His work in us.

I also want to share an important announcement for the summer. Youth Summer Camp will be held June 22–26, and the cost this year will be $320 per student. Camp is always a meaningful time for our students to grow in their faith, build friendships, and step away from distractions to focus on what God is doing in their lives.

To help make camp accessible for as many students as possible, we will have several fundraising opportunities coming up soon. More details will be shared in the coming weeks, and we would greatly appreciate your prayers and support as we prepare.
Thank you for continuing to invest in the lives of our students. It is a blessing to serve alongside a church family that encourages the next generation to follow Christ and share the hope we have in Him.
In Christ,
Cody
