Additional Information
Becoming a youth leader at Roundtop Baptist, alongside my fiance who is the new youth pastor, has been extremely rewarding in the short time we have been there. The congregation at Roundtop is welcoming, supportive, and they make you feel at home. I love teaching the word to the next generation and I believe a good foundation and knowledge of the Bible and a close relationship with Christ and the church will help the youth of America stay on the righteous path God has intended. When teaching I like to explain why we believe what we believe because it lays a good foundation to stand firm on and is a reminder when situations come about. I hope I continue to have opportunities to teach to the children and youth in the community about Christ and continue to grow relationships with fellow christians as peers and mentors.
