My name is Jason Gant and I am the Director of Student Ministries at The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection. I work with the best staff team in all of youth ministry reaching 6th grade-college life. I also lead the "Vibe" worship venue on Sunday mornings in the Student Center. I just released my first book (a ministry guide between Resurrection and Abingdon Press designed to encourage and equip youth ministry leaders in the smaller church setting). I am married to Scharme, and we have two daughters.

Youth workers make great mentors



Here's a pic of me and Chris Folmsbee team teaching at the Youthfront youth worker training day this past week. We focused on the principles of mentoring students.

I was pumped to see 20 of our own volunteers come, including; small group leaders, staff, youth group leaders, and Rez West youth workers with Joey Wilson-Youth Pastor at our West Campus in Olathe.

Here is a quote from one of our Rez small group leaders about their experience at the training..."Thank you so much for the opportunity to attend the Youth Worker training. I gained valuable insight, ideas and encouragement from the sessions today. It is a real privilege to work with teens".
