God has been moving...

...so powerfully among our youth in the past few months and they have seen really amazing things happening within their community in the Elevate cluster. Tuesday nights Elevate kids gather to share life together, receive teaching and having a blast doing crazy things.

Two months ago the cluster started breaking off into small groups once a month to go deeper in the word and allow kids a place to get really intimate with their leaders. One group in particular has seen radical change as their leader, Johnny, a young man with a great heart and a love for youth, has stepped into building community in a counter-cultural way. He’s pouring his life into these guys, going to their schools, picking them up from work, taking them to the gym AND meeting with them as a whole group once a week to keep digging into helping them grow in their faith. Johnny has taken life-on-life ministry to a whole nother level as he steps into the lives of his youth, outside his comfort zone or even his original responsibility as a youth leader, to see Jesus Bigger in their worlds and real community built. Very cool.
