Associate Pastor of Student Ministries
In December, 2024, our Youth Pastor of 10 years moved on to another ministry opportunity. As we diligently search for the individual who God has planned to serve in this role at Tri-State, our Student Ministry will continue with an excellent team of volunteers in place to lead teaching and activities, overseen by our Pastoral staff.
Please pray with us as we work through this process.
