1 Pastor, 6 Interns And A Whole Lot of Excitement
About a year ago, I was given the privilege to launch a young adult ministry – The Crossing. This was a pretty big step for us (New Life Church) because we had never had a full time young adult ministry and the though of adding this sort of ministry was not something that happened without a great deal of dialogue and thought.
Looking back a year later I am incredibly happy with what we have accomplished.
- 70-80 college students and young professionals engaged regularly in ministry
- 5 small groups
- Small groups that go out and serve the community together
- Regular events and service projects
- An incredible group of leaders
- multiple services each month
- etc. etc. etc.
It’s been a great year!
But this coming fall is a whole new ball game. Here’s why…
- at least 6 interns
- weekly services
- regular presence on 4 college campuses
- increasing from 5 small groups to 7 or 8
- Bringing in incredible guest speakers
- the possibility of a weekly leadership class
- new branding
- the establishment of The Crossing as a community ministry, by partnering with other churches/young adult ministries
So while we have a great thing going, We’re kicking things up about 10 notches this fall. Oh it’s going to be a fun ride!
