“I arrived at Palm Valley Church with a broken heart. Although I was raised in a Christian home, I didn’t know how to overcome this. The greeting, the welcoming, and kindness from my peers really changed my life. There’s so many people to thank, many relationships that have been built and will last a lifetime. I owe everything to this ministry. I never thought I would ever serve again, nor even picture myself lead the Connections Team. But, we serve a Savior that truly saves and truly heals. Sometimes we feel our life is too messy to be able to go to church or even serve. And I get it, I’ve been there. But just like Lorena once told me “Let God turn your mess into a message.” I encourage you to come, to serve, and to belong. If Jesus never outcasted anyone in the Bible, he won’t start with you. Here in YA, we’re all about “Connecting people to people and people to God.” I have been redeemed. And I am forever grateful to Palm Valley Church.”
“Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.”
Romans 15:7
“I have been attending Palm Valley for close to 4 years now. I did not come from a Christian family, & therefore definitely didn’t come in with knowledge of what it would be like to be surrounded by so many people who care about you and your heart.
Although Palm Valley Church made me feel so welcomed on Day 1, it wasn’t until I got plugged into the YA ministry that I really started growing in my faith. There was something so encouraging about being surrounded by people moving towards the same things in life, fueled by the same fire. I have come to meet some of the greatest, most Jesus-radiating people in YA, and over the past few year, it has become my vision for this ministry. A vision, that so evidently radiates Jesus in such an attractive way, as it did for me. To continually draw people in so that we can continue to grow and build a church and community not many have yet to encounter. There is and will always be a seat that has already been prepared for you here.”
“Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed… Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken” Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 NLT
“I am grateful to Palm Valley Church for teaching me who saved my life & who saved my soul, my lord and savior, Jesus Christ. & I am also grateful to Young Adults for providing me opportunities to take my next steps, because of the amazing leadership there, I got the direction needed to get baptized, begin serving in Youth & to lead in Young Adults.
Now I continue to empower young adults to also take their next steps in their walk with Jesus. My goal is simple: help others love Jesus a little more each day.
Along the way I have developed life long friendships with amazing people that all bring their own gifts and experiences that truly creates something special about this beautifully fun Jesus filled community. I know being a young adult already has its own challenges, not having a community shouldn’t be one of them.”
“You are the salt of the earth…You are the light of the world…In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:13-16
