Words from our Seniors

How has Currey Creek developed your spiritual life?

  • Currey Creek has provided a place that has always felt like home and where I know I can trust people there. Youth group on Wednesday night pushed me to step out of my comfort zone and share deeper and more personal struggles with guys. The people at Currey Creek are really genuine in their faith and I know that they have my back. -Cole W.
  • Being under sound teaching and receiving the encouragement I have at Currey Creek has been incredible. It has been an amazing example of what to look for in a church. -David G.
  • I can remember the first time I attended Currey Creek and having Mrs. Langenbahn as my group leader, I think in 6th grade. She made me feel noticed and heard. Fast forward to now and every leader I’ve had has made me feel the same way. And they all challenged me to look critically at what it means to have a relationship with the Lord and help me from that transition from “parent’s faith” to my own faith. -Jayne G.
  • Currey Creek developed me to become a stronger Christian and even when times were tough, I learned to keep pushing and knew God would create something good out of it. -Joseph H.

  Do you have a favorite Scripture?

  • I have several verses that I live by, however, John 16:33 in particular is one of my favorites because of so many unknowns in the future. It says, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” God tells us we will endure hardships, but He also tells us that He has overcome every single struggle and heartache, and we can rest in Him knowing that. No matter what is to come God is greater. -Katelynn S.

What encouragement would you pass on to other students?

  • Read your Bible. Don’t "find time" to spend with Jesus. MAKE TIME on a daily basis to spend with the Father. We aren't always going to want to read the Bible but we will always need to read the Bible. It is so much more than a book. It is a conviction, a lifestyle, a cornerstone to our walk as young men and women. -Sam L.

Favorite memory at Currey Creek?

  • I would have to say just the worship each night at Upstream on Wednesday night. There were multiple nights coming to youth where I would just feel in a funk or struggling with something, and the worship never failed to make me feel God’s presence. I would leave youth just feeling giddy and overwhelmed with the Spirit because of the worship. Whenever I needed encouragement, the worship team would play the perfect song that spoke directly to me in that moment. -Cole W.

John's July Article:

Dear Church Family, To say it has been an unusual year is an understatement of epic proportions. What we have taken for granted cannot be taken for granted! Some of those who have been adversely affected by all of this are those in our Student Ministry, specifically our seniors. As you might have read, our Student Ministry has had a lasting effect on our seniors. Bret, Logan, and Kristene have done and continue to do a fantastic job of loving, serving, and leading our students. As these students go off to a new area of life, new challenges will surface, new spiritual attacks will arise, and hard decisions will need to be made. Yet our God is faithful and true! Our blessed Redeemer is there to comfort and guide! The Holy Spirit comes in fresh waves to strengthen and establish! These students have heard the Word of God. They have had the foundation of Christ and the Apostles laid before them. They are equipped to fight the good fight. How do I know? I know the teaching and instruction that they have been exposed to. It is sure, strong, and Spirit led. It is straight from the source, ad fontes, the reformers would say. Having said that, these graduates still need our prayers and support. They still need a place to come home to that is steady, when everything else seems to be in flux. I’m proud to have known these students. They come from good stock. It will be exciting to see what the Lord will do in and through them in the next few years. Congratulations Class of 2020!  

In Christ,

John
