Friendship Student Ministries | Friendship Assembly of God

BE - (Kindergarten to 5th Grade)

Our youngest students are encouraged to experience the presence of God that leads to transformation.

BE Leaders

Alex and Jessica Zellman

After serving in BE (then known as Kids Club) under the previous leader, the Zellmans stepped up when our previous kids leader stepped down. Since then, they have emphasized relationships. The leaders with the kids, and the kids with God. They make sure to have prayer time almost every night where the kids can pray by themselves, with others, and with their leaders.

Tom Wellman

Tom has been serving in the Student Ministries for years. Accused of being a kid trapped in a grown-up's body, Tom is the favorite uncle of all the kids. His heart for the kids is clear in his love and manner toward each one. (And we know he is a grown-up because no kid could possibly know how to do all the things he does.)

Pastor Jason Nordby

As the father of 6, Jason has endless experience with kids and he loves them with the same heart as Jesus - whether he's in the sound booth playing music, asking them about their day at school, or teaching the lesson.

MOVE - (6th Grade)

In addition to experiencing transformation like the BE group, the MOVE group is focused on discipleship: learning how the church works and how they fit into the church. This includes giving students the opportunity to begin to serve in the church, and be a junior leader in the BE group. There is also a weekly lesson.

MOVE Leaders

Pastor John Gerbec

When he realized that they would be sending a dozen 6th graders to the already crowded youth room, Pastor John started the MOVE group, with the purpose of discipling the 6th graders, getting them invested in the Church, and helping them discover their purpose in the body of Christ.

Anna Gerbec

When the need arose for a separate group for the 6th graders, the pull to be a part of it was too strong for Anna to ignore. Stepping out of Kids Club (now BE kids) a little hesitantly, she now wouldn't trade any of her 6th graders for the world.

REACH - (7th - 12th Grade)

Building off of the focus of BE and MOVE, the REACH group is also focused on transformation and discipleship, but with the added focus of community involvement. Once a month the students in this group either go out in the community to serve, or they build something that is then distributed throughout the community.

REACH Leaders

Sarah Peterson

Since God called the previous youth leader out, Sarah has stepped up and faithfully led the often-rambunctious group of youth with all the grace of our Lord. God is using her faithfulness, her compassion, and her heart for the youth as He works in the hearts of the REACH group.

Bryan Davis

Bryan has no hesitation in dealing with rowdy teenagers, as several boys have discovered on occasion. His commitment to the youth and willingness to step out of his comfort zone for them is sowing seeds that will last.

Kelli Gerbec

Kelli loves the youth and wants them all to grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus. Her passion for Jesus and the hearts of the youth has set a spark that continues to burn, gently and hard to see right now, but blazing brighter.
