Charlie Alcock
Executive Director

"Youth Ministry Events is about students serving students. It's not about the speakers or the artists, it's the desire for our college students to invest in the next generation who are in High School and Middle School. They want to show them what it looks like to put Jesus first."

"Youth Ministry Events is such a great balance of college students investing in high school and middle school students and college students being invested into on a regular basis. I love that I get a front row seat watching God move mountains in this generation and the generations to come. I really have a DREAM job!"
