This Is Youth Ministry!

From Colossians 1:28-29, Pastor Brett Nakashima casts the biblical vision for Lighthouse Youth: youth ministry exists to proclaim Christ so that every student is presented mature in Him. It is a foundation for the year ahead, built on proclamation, equipping, and loving community.
