Exalt Youth News

     When I look around Exalt Church on a Sunday morning I am so encouraged to see so many teenagers. The next generation plays an important part of the future of any good and growing church. Recently, our youth pastor Corey Miller and his wife Kristi shared very exciting news with me. They told me that God was about to open a new door for them in the next phase of their ministry. Even though this new opportunity will be taking them away from Exalt Church, the leadership team and I are very excited for them. Personally, I have seen God do this on many occasions with the people who love and serve him in ministry. We bless them on their new endeavor.

     With that being said, we will continue to move forward with our youth ministry without skipping a beat. Currently our youth meets every Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. in the cafeteria at Wilson Christian Academy. This will remain the same. So I ask that if you are a teen and have been coming or a family that has been bringing your teenager, please continue to do so. If your teenager has never checked us out before, challenge them to join us. I am available to answer any questions that you might have.  Please do not hesitate to email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . 

1 Timothy 4:12 --  Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

Blessings,

Pastor Thomas Lead Pastor Exalt Church
