Relative Truths

Ok, so when we started worship at Connection Church in January, our plan was to wait until the fall to start our student ministry.  We call our student ministry Nexus because Nexus means “a point of connection” and “at the center of something.”  Our goal is that this ministry will allow teenagers to connect with and experience Christ in such a way that He becomes the center of their lives. 

Part of the reason in delaying the start of Nexus was to make sure we did it right.  We didn’t want to take on too much at the beginning of the church and not a ministry well, thus dooming it.  Another reason was because I was waiting for God to reveal the right person to lead this ministry.  One of the great people I have met in starting the church is Andrew Von Essen.  He is a great guy with a passion for Jesus.  When I found out that he had a passion to work with youth, God was like BAM, and off Andrew and I went to plan and prepare.

We are really pumped about beginning this student ministry.  Our first event will be a trip to a Gwinnett Braves game in June.  We hope to do a service project in July and then another outing in August before beginning Sunday night worship and teaching.  Check out our page here, and if you are on Facebook, join our group (Nexus Student Ministry).  If nothing else, pray for this new ministry as we seek to have an impact on the teenagers of Suwanee!
