Who are the Jr High Youth Leaders?
Youth Leaders are mentors to students.
Caring adults who walk alongside students in the good and the bad.
People who strive to live as an example of what it means to love God and love others.
Steve and Mel love working with Jr. High students
and they are well loved by the students too! They are great
listeners as well as enthusiastic supporters of youth. Steve
works as an Electrician and Mel is an Accountant.When
they’re not at church or at work, you’ll probably find Steve
and Mel singing karaoke, trying out a new recipe, spending
quality time with friends and family, or cheering on the BC
united soccer team.
Chris adds flavor and spunk to our youth ministry team. He’s great at sparking
up conversation with Jr. High students and fun to be around! He loves being outside and
can run faster than you can imagine! He and Dale lead us in fun games each week.
Chris has been volunteering with Jr. High students for 7 years. His love for Jesus and
people is contagious.
Jess is a fun-loving, adventure seeking preschool teacher
who volunteers her time with Jr. High students because she is passionate
about all people coming to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. She is
an excellent mentor and supporter of students. When she’s not at
church or work, you might find her hiking, training for a triathlon, or
traveling the world. Email Jess often.
Dale and Ruth have been serving with the Jr. High Youth Group
for 18 years. They are passionate about sharing the love and truth of Jesus
Christ with Jr. High students. When he’s not at church, Dale is often found
building something amazing like houses or cabins! Ruth is an avid reader.
Her inquisitive, sharp mind adds richness to our discussions at youth group
and Sunday School.
