    Native American Music

    I had no idea he was of Christian background. When I first meet him back in '95, I would have thought that was surely not the case ;)

    Humboldt Cali

    Easily when you've lived in both of them ;) Oh, and I wouldn't call 7000 feet elevation "high in the moutains" when Victorville is at 3000. Going to take a wee-bit more then 4000 feet to call something "high". ;) Now Mount Shasta at 14000 feet I think we can safely say would be "high in the...

    In Over My Head in Youth Ministry - Any Ideas? (Longish)

    It is your job as a youth minister to make time for your youth, if you do nothing else, that's what you should be doing. I know of youth pastors with 200 kids in their youth group, and make a personal connection with all of them when they first come, and on a weekly basis. If you cannot make...

    Christian Website needs maintainer

    If you don't have the time and the love for it, just give up the domain and (perhaps) let someone else take FULL control of it. If you had the umption to buy the domain, then you should have the umption to keep it going yourself. If you don't, then let it go....

    Church forums

    We use phpBB's "user groups" and "group permissions" to setup specific forums for each ministry in our church, than provide each ministry members with access to their private forums. This provides each of our churches ministry groups a nice, safe place to share whatever they need to discuss. Of...

    If all the churches were one church...

    Yep, true. However, I think if we were to start to worry more about the massive proselytizing movement by non-christian sects, we in Christiondom might stop worring about 'in-fighting' and such, then things would be much more peaceful in our own four walls.

    Denominational Preferences... Or Lack Thereof

    So, when I joined the forums they asked me what denomination/fellow I was apart of. First thing I noticed was that the fellowship I'm apart of (Assemblies of God) was not even listed. Second thing I noticed was the "Baptist" were listed. So then I just shrug it off and go on with life...

    In Over My Head in Youth Ministry - Any Ideas? (Longish)

    Those are exactly the reasons why I never allowed either student-leaders nor adult-leaders call or visit the students in our youth program UNTIL I had personally visited with all parents, and then at a later date introduced student/adult leaders with the parents that they would be responsible...

    Humboldt Cali

    Hey All, I'm from Humboldt as well. I've been here 10+ years, most of it in Arcata. (no, not a student, rather a youth minister). I have since relocated to Eureka. I relocated from the Victorville / Big Bear region of Southern California.

    Do you cut your hair?

    Common sense and close analysis of the Holy Text reveals most of the situations to us. The newer Holy Text will bring light to the older Holy Text, and vise-versa, we simply have to find the hidden treasures.
