Youth Ministry Roll Out
We are excited to officially announce that the Youth Ministry of LifeShare Church is beginning on Tuesday, June 4, 6:30pm for a combined parent and student informational meeting at the church building.
Derrick and Anna Wong have stepped up to be our new youth leaders. Derrick just finished his Dental degree at the UT Health Science Center. And Anna, his wife, has one more year to go. Along with their adventurous lifestyle, they have answered the call to lead the awesome young people of LifeShare.
The plan is to have weekly youth small groups, on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm, at the church building. Derrick will lead the young guys Bible study and Anna will lead the young ladies Bible study.
Once a month, starting in July, we will have a larger youth group gathering on one of the Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm. This gathering will include worship led by Charis Vogel, our youth band leader, and other up and coming youth singers and musicians. Our goal is to build a youth worship team.
If you would like to be a part of the youth worship team we will announce a day for tryouts at our June 4th informational meeting. Our plan is to place young psalmists in one of four developmental areas.
Level 1 is for those that are brand new to worship music, but have a desire to learn. We will direct them to online courses for voice, piano, guitar, or drum training.
Level 2 is for those that are semi-proficient at singing or playing their instrument and are ready for private lessons from one of our adult musicians on the church worship team.
Level 3 is for those that are already skilled at singing or playing their instruments and are ready to play in the youth worship band on a monthly basis. Charis Vogel will give them several worship songs to learn on their own and then they will rehearse before the monthly youth worship gathering.
Level 4 is for those that are already excellent at singing or playing their instrument and are ready to play on the adult worship band. Michelle and Tom Beck, our worship pastors, will give that young person a try out and possibly work them into the worship team rotation.
We can’t wait to see all the fun, the friendships, the music, and the Holy Spirit encounters that our young people will experience starting real soon in June 2024.
I encourage all parents of LifeShare to make a kingdom commitment to get your young person involved in our life-giving youth group. You and your precious children will be better for it!
Exciting times in Jesus are ahead :)
