The Youth Ministry Team is excited to announce that Anna Sanders will be serving as the Youth Ministry Intern this summer! She will begin her role on May 20, and will be helping coordinate a variety of youth activities this summer as well as helping to plan into the fall. Anna is uniquely qualified for this role because she desires to help others and has built relationships with some of our current students during her time as a leader at The Great Escape last year. She is excited to continue building meaningful relationships with students and investing in them this summer.
The Human Resources Ministry Team is happy to announce that as we continue to evaluate and strategically plan for permanent directors, Lara Hauser and Christa Middleton have agreed to stay as Interim Children's Ministry Co-Directors and Dave Carpenter has agreed to stay as Interim Youth Ministries Director through December 31, 2019.
