The Beginning

Stories are a great way of revealing the identity of a person or group. On this page stories about the youth group will be shared through personal Testimonies, events, trips, devotions. So please share by emailing me (Pastor Marc) a testimony and then I will post it after proofing it.

Our Story, has a beginning as a youth group, and it does not have to have an ending if you will take what you have learned with you throughout the rest of your life. The OCBC church has been here in Orting for many years, and has seen much growth that has made us the largest church in town. We are in the middle of a building program that doubles our campus. I moved here in August of 2008, from the Phoenix valley area. The climate here is so much different than the 110 degree weather of the dessert valley floor. There is a measure of beauty every where you live, and this area of the country is just that.

Our youth group has such a great core of teens that it is so exciting to see what the Lord is going to do in all of their lives. We range from so many backgrounds of family life to schooling, to places lived or have been that it brings such a neat variety. With those differences the one thing that brings us together is our personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

So here our story begins with the Lord as our leader. Please pray for each other, as we are all in this world that has rejected the Savior that died and rose from the grave that we might have life everlasting. Never look down on others but only love them as Jesus loved you so much.

Teen Testimony

This weekend I went with my dad to Lakeview Cristian Camp for a men's retreat. Pastor Marc's dad was the speaker for the weekend and did a great job of teaching us how to be steadfast, consistant and couragous men in evil days. The text he used was from Daniel and spoke to me greatly. Another great thing at the retreat was the good Christian fellowship. Mr. Olson did a gret job preparing the food we ate; it was very good. The only bad thing about the whole trip was that we were late getting to breakfast. That is partly because I stayed up till 2:30am playing ping pong with Mr. Force and Skylar McCune. Even with that we still had a good time.
