Discipleship Team
The Discipleship Team is a group of devoted, God-seeking students committed to serving our Lord, the churches we visit and each other in a way that glorifies Christ. Our team has prepared and studied workshops on a number of issues youth face and battle every day, which we make available every weekend to every church. Our goal is to work with the church so as to increase the knowledge of the youth and promote the benefit of applied knowledge to ultimately glorify God. We want to love you, hang out with you and help you grow towards a true and vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ.

Why YQ? I decided to apply for YouthQuest because God had been continually growing a passion in my heart to share Christ with people. I was also craving a close knit family of believers that had the same passion that I had and that I could confide in. I love building friendships and really digging deep into people's lives. I am so excited to build these kinds of relationships with teens and share Christ with them!

Why YQ? I have never experienced a greater joy than seeing someone accept Christ as their Savior and surrender their life to Him. YouthQuest is an amazing opportunity to present children and teenagers with the Gospel, to teach them to grow and mature in their faith, and to see authentic life change take place that only Christ can provide.
