Testimonials

Rufus Elam - Youth Pastor
"Jesus University has caused my ministry to be more effective in the life of my church and the community in which we minister to. Every aspect of my ministry has improved because of JU.  I can now boast a volunteer staff of 31 adults from my congregation because of JU.Not only do I have that valuable resource, the staff have really caught on to the total vision of what our ministry is doing through JU.  

My pastor is excited, my congregation is excited, my ministry staff is excited, my youth parents are excited about the program. But most importantly my youth are excited, not about the program but about their growth in Christ. I'm excited about their commitment to their growth and the fact that church has become a priority to the youth and their parents."

"We are into our second year of Jesus University and it couldn't get any better. Just this past Sunday we hit are attendance high for a Sunday morning! The youth are pumped, their parents are excited, and our congregation is ecstatic about the things taking place because of Jesus University."

Dr. Gary Harber - Sr. Pastor
"On Sunday, two families introduced themselves to me saying with excitement that they had returned to our church because their teenager had visited Jesus University and enjoyed it so much that their teenager wanted to return. With smiles on their faces, each family conveyed that it made it much easier somehow for the family to come to church together. This experience repeats itself frequently. Our church would not be the same without Jesus University."

Willie Davis - Music Pastor
"JU has not only brought life to our Student Ministry but to our entire church body. The JU students have become a wonderful example and inspiration to the kids in our Children's Ministry. They're "chopping at the bits" to be old enough to join JU. JU requires a lot of Volunteer Adult Leadership. Usually adults tend to get burned out pretty quick in your Typical Youth Ministry. But in JU they don't get burnt out, they get fired up instead. That's what JU has done for our entire church."

Loree McDonald - student
"I really love waking up and going to JU in the mornings, I love seeing everyone
come together early in the morning just to love God. Of course we have fun while we're there, but even though we're rocking out or playing Plinko, it's all about his glory, and when there are more kids in JU than in Service on a snow day, that's saying something."

Dr. Randy Scraper - Sr. Pastor
"Jesus University has revitalized our Sunday morning youth program. One of its greatest benefits, aside from the obvious benefit to the students in the ministry, is the magnificent involvement of adults in the planning and execution of the ministry. It is a real winner!"
