What an exciting new season! Sports are starting to kick off, Promotion Sunday has brought an amazing group of 6th graders into Student Ministry, and I’m so excited to begin serving as Youth Minister with our families here at TBCK! Each time I’ve met one of our youth, I’ve been so excited and impressed, what a blessing to serve and do life alongside these souls that God loves.
As small groups are starting up this fall, there will be a little adjustment from previous circles. Now all small groups will be meeting on Sunday morning at the 11am hour. This is a great time for all youth to lean into relationship, God’s word, and prayer. Wednesday nights will be large group gatherings for 6th through 12th graders at 5:30pm in the youth space. This will be an interactive time of fun, study, and joining together to lead in to what God has for us in this season. With school kicking off, it’s a great time for every family to incorporate these rhythms into their regular weekly schedule. The rhythms we stick with are the ones that shape us!
With this new season, I’m continuing to look at how our youth can join in and share the ministry. This could be through things such as reading scripture and praying on Wednesday nights, helping host a game, or many other opportunities that are coming up. If your youth is interested in learning more about serving, let us know and we would love to connect with them.
This past week I’ve been thinking about Jesus’ habit of withdrawing from the growing crowds to spend time with the Father (Luke 5:16). How true it is that there is nothing done for God that will last if it is not done with God. He is the source of life, and service flows from a heart filled first by His energy, His heart, and His fruit. As you think of our students, please be in prayer that they would not just know about God, but that they would know Him personally.

Welcome to Our New Youth Minister

Jul '26
by James Tripp
After roughly five months of prayer, discernment, and conversation, the Youth Minister Search Committee is grateful to share that our church has approved Josh Gill as our next Youth Minister. We are deeply thankful for the support, encouragement, and prayers the congregation has offered throughout the process.
In our conversations with Josh, it was evident that he has such a passion for creating spaces for people to encounter God and for teaching. Josh comes to us from the H. E. Butt Foundation where he currently serves as the Assistant Director of Laity Lodge Family Camp and has previous experience as a Student & Children’s Ministry Associate Director and a Young Adult Ministry Pastor.
We are excited for Josh to step into this role and eager to see how God will use his gifts to bless our students, families, and community. Josh will start in this new role August 9th, which will allow him to finish up the camp season at Laity Lodge and then take some time to reconnect and recuperate with his family.
Thank you again for your prayers. Please continue to pray for our students, their families, and our church as we continue through this time of transition.
