Who leads this stuff?
ACC leaders announced May 5, 2012 that we have hired Chris Coulson as our new Student Minister. We are beyond excited to bring him onboard, and we truly believe God is going to use him to reach students in our community for Christ.
Chris, 25, comes to ACC from Mt. Carmel Christian Church, where he has served as the Student Ministries Associate Director. As a volunteer there for nine years, he has developed a significant amount of experience preaching, teaching and leading small groups. If you recognize Chris, you may have met him at Woodland Lakes Christian Camp, where he has also worked.
He is currently finishing up his bachelor’s degree at Cincinnati Christian University, but his dream is to one day complete his PhD and become a college professor.
Chris impressed our leaders during multiple interviews. Here’s a sample from his written interview about the importance of student ministry:
“Student ministry should remind students that God loves them, wants a relationship with them, and has a plan for them. Students need to learn to own their faith because when they reach adulthood the safety net is gone. If the faith they had was based on something other than a true relationship with Jesus it will crumble leaving a vacuum. Student ministry should be engaging, challenging, supportive, and should prepare students for adulthood.”
Chris joins ACC after a year-long search, and we would like to extend a special thanks to the many Student Ministries team volunteers — led by Nicki Edmisten, Tish Carwell, Cara Morrissey, Cory Vinson and Kelly Simmons — for all the amazing work you have done with our junior and senior high students.
