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.

Service Project!

Earlier this year a group of the teens went and helped clear a lot of vines and tree limbs from house! The couple that owned this house weren't physically able to do any of the basic up keep. I past this house the other day and noticed that we might be needed again. Things grow fast here in Washington. Here is a short video of that event.
I have never seen so many black berry vines in my life. You just got to love the thorns on those vines.

2010 Egypt File VBS




July 2010 was a very busy month for the youth. Most of them participated in our five day Vacation Bible School that our church put on. They were involved with leading kids, craft time, snacks and game, leading kids to Christ, and the Drama. It's awesome to see so many youth getting involved here in our church and serving in so many areas. Check out some of the behind the scenes video on the photo page.

Thanks Teens for a great Vacation Bible School - Can't wait till next year! Pastor Marc

2010 Youth Christmas Party - Design and Defend!


We have had our moments for sure, but this years Christmas party was very eventful. The theme was "Design and Defend", and we did just that. We designed our own pizzas (pizza is always a plus) and then we defended ourselves with Nerf Guns. And when I say Nerf I mean Nerf to the max, well as max as we could get in a church. Check out the pictures by clicking on the photo icon to the left..

Isaiah 9:6 was our passage in the bible for the devotion. Truly amazing to hear our Savior described hundreds of years before He was ever born. "Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

2010 Northwest Youth Conference

The Northwest 2010 Youth Conference was one of our highlights. We traveled down to Portland and stayed two night for a great conference filled with fun, singing, and life changing messages from Gods Word.
We all returned challenged from Gods word and tired from the late nights. Oh and the van rides were interesting also.
