FUSION YOUTH LEADERSHIP TEAM

Elizabethweb
 
Elizabeth is the only person on the Aldersgate staff who has a budget line item for candy and donuts! In addition to knowing that feeding a teenager’s stomach is part of feeding their soul, she brings a passion for helping teens become devoted and fruitful disciples of Jesus Christ through our                    Fusion Youth Ministries.  
 
Calebweb
 
Caleb has been a part of Aldersgate since his fifth grade year and grew up in our youth ministry program. Now a student in Psychology and Theology at Missouri State University, he helps cultivate discipleship in other youth as our Fusion Youth Ministries Intern. Although a techie in training, he is still not allowed to use the copier by himself.
