Reflection On Youth Ministry

1173 Words5 Pages

Wow, youth ministry where to even start. I remember being in 8th grade and thinking I am not getting involved in youth ministry it isn’t going to be fun at all. Well I was completely wrong. I have meet so many new people through youth ministry and it has changed my life for the better. When I started in youth ministry it was just the kids from St. Joseph’s Church and our youth leaders name was Missy Kinard, she was awesome and I still wish she was a leader today.

Winter Jam was one of the best nights of my life. We combined with St. Paul’s and we all went to Winter Jam together, although the people I normally hang out with didn’t go, I had an amazing time, and would go back in a heartbeat. Being part of this combined youth ministry has been one the best things that has ever happened to me. I am so blessed to have these people in my life and I don’t know what I would do without
