YOUTH DIRECTOR
Jennifer Evans
Jennifer is passionate about empowering and inspiring young people under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, into a fuller, more meaningful personal relationship with Jesus Christ so that they can greatly impact the world around them.
Her vision is to see the New Seasons youth group grow in spiritual depth and physical numbers and for the group to become truly multicultural. Her ethos in delivery is always for young people to 'Keep it Real'; real to God, real to others and real to self.
One biblical commission is that 'Those that worship (God) must worship Him in Spirit and truth'.
She believes that just by being real, young people can pattern Jesus as He was and is, and always will be; the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE.
Jennifer is currently working for the local council whilst completing a degree.
