Grace and peace to you in the name of Jesus Christ!
What an exciting time to be in Youth Ministry! So many resources, so many volunteers, so many youth who are hungry for the Word.
Paducah District youth workers have been growing in number and skill over the past few years, and I'm proud to offer whatever I can to further the ministry to youth and young adults in our region. I've been blessed to work with some of the most creative people in our Conference--and they are right here in the Paducah District! For more information about the ministry of the Paducah District Youth Council, check out www.pdyc.org.
Please call on me in your search to find new ways to reach out to the young people of our region. Together, we can discover vital means for offering them Christ.
In His service,
