Full-Time Program Team

Our Mission Springs ministry team, which has over sixty years of combined experience in youth ministry, come from a diversity of backgrounds with a variety of life experience, but we all share this common goal: to leading youth to Christ in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. It is our privilege and honor to serve in this way and we look forward to getting to know your family, especially your kids. If you have any questions or concerns, we are here to address them. We might have been at this a while but are grateful for the input parents offer so please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Thanks!
