It is an honor and a blessing to serve alongside the staff and members of Pole Creek Baptist Church. It is clearly evident that God has His hand on this ministry, and I am excited to see how God will continue to work to see His mission accomplished through the people of this great church. God has blessed my family by giving us the opportunity to serve here. He has given me a strong passion to help teenagers come to know Christ and then grow closer to Him in such an intimate way where they too can make a lasting impact on their friends, family and the community here in Western North Carolina. The Pole Creek Student Ministry is here to make a mark on the community teens around us. This student ministry is designed to help develop leaders of the next generation to influence others to make a lasting impact for Christ. We do this through the truth found in 1 Timothy 4:12

        In word - spreading the Word of God to others (Evangelism)
        In Conduct - spending time with other believers (Fellowship)
        In Love - sharing the love of God and His Word (Discipleship)
        In Spirit - strengthening ourselves through His Word (Worship)
        In Faith & Purity - striving to live life where others can see Christ (Ministry)

We are excited to see what great things God has for this ministry in the days ahead. We honestly feel like the best days are ahead of us here in the student ministry at Pole Creek Baptist Church, and I am excited to be a part of the team here.
