People often ask why I do what I do, and why I moved halfway across the country. This study from the Barna Group shows America's most and least Bible-minded cities. Guess who is the least... That's why I live and do ministry in New England.
Ministry Update: Deep Freeze 2013 Recap
Two weekends ago, we took 29 students and 8 adult leaders to Camp Berea for a winter retreat called "Deep Freeze." It was a great weekend!

Ministry Update – January 27, 2013
It has been a LONG time since I've done a ministry update post. For my original financial and prayer supporters, I apologize for that. I felt as though I needed to share some recent revelations with you all. Tonight, we had almost 70 students at our youth group event. While some may look at that … Continue reading Ministry Update – January 27, 2013
Excited for the Future
This summer was packed full of speaking engagements, traveling, and many opportunities to talk with people from other churches. In fact, even though it was one of my busiest summers, it was one of the best for that very reason. I was able to hear God-stories from other places around New England. One thing that … Continue reading Excited for the Future

Please Consider Helping Our Students Serve at WorkcampNE 2012
So, guess what! We've got about 30 high school students going on our mission trip this summer to VT. 30!! How awesome is that!? However, trips like this cost money. They have to pay for the supplies, transportation, housing, etc. while we are there. So, my question is this. Would you be willing to allow … Continue reading Please Consider Helping Our Students Serve at WorkcampNE 2012
Getting Back into Bible Study
Over the past few years here at RCC, I've often asked myself what we can do for students who are ready to dive deeper into the Bible. Many times, we recommend that they go through a specific devotional or something, but I also knew they were missing something in the form of studying the Bible … Continue reading Getting Back into Bible Study
