Back in the nineties, the Prescott church was filled with young people who were the children of us who were early converts in Prescott. They were on-fire teenagers, eagerly pursuing all that God had for them. It was before we as a Fellowship began valuing church kids as people worth sending out. But as these kids grew up, they began to drift away from the faith. In spite of our efforts to keep them, we lost almost a whole generation.
We have teens here that are a great asset and who hold great potential. We also have pastors who can relate to them and who care about them and who bring the weight of pastoral ministry to bear upon them. Maybe our church will not lose this generation like Prescott did.
We still keep powering on in spite of gains or losses.
