Middle School Director Andrew Nicholas with wife Katherine and son Gideon

Andrew Nicholas:

 
Katherine Nicholas:

Family: I have wonderful parents who have been married for over thirty years, and I'm the middle child of seven with three older brothers, two younger sisters and a younger brother.
I'm married to the most amazing man I know, and I'm the proud mother of one-year-old Gideon.

Hobbies: Reading, cooking (or at least attempting to) tasty meals for my family, cleaning, playing with my little toddler, beating my husband at Yahtzee ;)

Random fact about Me: I've been known to imitate prominent people in "ministry", quite accurately.

Favorite music: Worship. Rita Springer, Misty Edwards, Jason Upton, Charlie Hall, Tim Hughes, Jesus Culture...

If I was a crayon my name would be: White. Plain and simple.

Favorite scripture: I can't say that I can really choose a favorite, but one passage that is hopefully an expression of my life is Philippians 3:7-14

Biblical Hero: Of course the only true hero is Jesus Christ.
Some others that have inspired me are: Esther, Stephen, Anna, Mary the mother of Jesus, Jeremiah.

Why I love youth ministry: I love youth ministry because they truly desire what's real. This challenges me in my own life and walk with God to make sure that it's all real, all the time. Plus, they're a lot of fun.

Dustin Mimbs

Family: Eddy (father) and Marsha (mother) Mimbs along with 2 living grandmothers and several aunts and 1st cousins

Hobbies: working out/exercise, playing Xbox 360, spending time with friends/family, watching football, participating in outdoor events (especially if it involves water) and more random things not listed here

Random Fact about me: I do voice/sound impersonations pretty well.

Favorite Music: Skillet and/or Hillsong United (praise and worship)

If I was a crayon, my name would be: D-Money Green

Favorite Scripture: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths."  Proverbs 3:5-6

Biblical Hero: Samson.  Reading about him in the Old Testament, I see a lot myself in him in more than one way.

Why I love youth ministry: I've always wanted to mentor those that are younger than I (since around high school) and hope that I can share some of my experiences with them so that they hopefully don't make some of the mistakes that I have.  I fully realize that in this day and age, the need for mature, adult, Christian mentors has never been higher.  I want to help teenagers follow a path that grows their relationship with God first and how that shapes everything else they will ever do in their life.  I want to share with them how being faithful to God provides the greatest blessings in their life and that the only validation they should ever seek is in the Lord Himself.
