That is the biggest desire for us as youth pastors at this church, for all of our young people and young adults is to fall in love with Jesus, right? Because I believe that people's lives change not just when they attend a church service or they raise their hand or say a prayer, but when they encounter Jesus for real, for the first time.

My life has been transformed through encountering God at a young age and making a decision to follow after Him for the rest of my life.

This is one thing I'm so passionate about because I've been alive for like 26, nearly 27 years now.

And then like a year later, you're like, man, where is that person? I haven't seen them.

One of our biggest desires is for all of these young people to in 20 and 30 years be stronger than they have ever been in their faith.

Like we're just not interested in, you know, going hard for four years and then they finish school and it's like, see you later, bro, good luck.

Like our passion and our vision is number one, that young people would fall in love with Jesus.

And number two, they would continue to fall in love with Jesus for the rest of their life, even into their old age.
