What this is about

I am the youth pastor of Bethany Lane Baptist Church in Ellicott City, Maryland. I have been at this church for over 9 years and just love what I am doing. Over the past few years, I have noticed a change in the kids who come to church. They need more than being pointed to God and learning what the Bible has to say about God. I had a strong feeling they needed to experience God for themselves in a project or something that they could not accomplish on their own. I also felt that this project must include the whole church.

This blog will attempt to tell that story. We are actually doing this large, God sized project. We started to join God in February of 2008, but the story really starts in the summer of 2007. I will be bouncing back and forth between remembering how we got here and what we are doing now that we are here and how that here keeps changing. This has been fun, a bit frustrating and totally a God thing all at the same time.
