1st day on the ground here in Kingwood was this Wednesday…learned a great deal and had a blast meeting everyone!
A few high points and my first impressions...
1. Watching and Learning: Brian Mills, Youth Pastor at the West Campus, has mentioned before that learning is so important when you are working on building a long term successful student ministry. It is good to set back and watch what happens and determine what you need to do. I'm learning a great deal about what it means to reach students in Kingwood for Christ and I can't wait to see what the Lord does as we seek His face!
2. Community, Community, Community: When it comes to reaching students the team here is knocking it out for the park they have seen many come to Christ over the last few weeks and many waiting to be baptized . Over the next few weeks we I will be pushing our team toward intentional events to not only meet students where they are, but also to get our presence out into the community here in Kingwood. Tailgates, breakfast on campuses, serving on campuses etc..
3. You can't do it alone: My heart is to see many in the church body here catch a huge vision for students and the next generation, and to have them team up with us to reach the future for Christ! This will be key as we move forward!
4. First impressions: What is the first impression students get of our ministry when they come through our doors? What is said about us in the community, in schools? What can we do to create an environment where students feel welcome and decide within the first 20 seconds in the building that they want to come back? These are just some questions I'm asking right now...
