Youth Ministries

Pastor John VanHouten

John is our Youth Pastor and his wife Missy works along side him.  Pastor John was saved when he was 10 years old but then he started back sliding – he thought he was in control of his life but then some things happened in his life that made him realize he was missing something; one of those things was his oldest son when he was in the 1st grade kept having acute seizures and John saw him die 4 times in the doctors office and it was in that moment that John realized he wasn’t in control of life and the Holy Spirit kept drawing him and he started attending church again and rededicated his life to the LORD and received his credentials through the Assemblies.

Missy says she grew up knowing about God but she did not get saved until her teen years; when her and John had been married for awhile and had 3 children, they knew they needed more in their life and she started seeking God alongside her husband.  Missy says she has really grown in the last 10 years and truly loves serving the LORD.

Pastor John and Missy are passionate to see the youth won to Christ and to become disciples of JESUS for the rest of their live. They want to equip this generation to go forth in power to lead future generations to come. They want to see the youth enjoy life in the NOW for Christ. We invite the teens ages 12 and up to come and join us on Wednesday nights at 6pm!!

2 Timothy 1:7  For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
Ephesians 6:13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil come, you may be able to stand your ground and after you have done everything, to Stand.
