Lauri Ferring - Minister to Families with Children
Psalm 78:3, 4, “We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.” Children are on an incredible journey to discover who they are. Who they are begins with who God is and who He created them to be. We work alongside parents to help their children along this journey by exploring God’s word learning what life is all about and who we are in it and more importantly who God is in it. On this journey we explore why the Old Testament is so foundational to our faith, the incredible story of salvation found in the New Testament along with scriptures memorized to strengthen us along the way. It is our desire that this be a strong start to a life journey with God that lasts their entire life.

Rhett Butler - Minister to Families with Youth
Edmund Burke said "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing". The youth of today are in need of great men and women of faith to model for them what it means to follow Christ and God has called me here to Ephrata Nazarene to be a part of that in the lives of some amazing young people. I believe that God wants to do some incredible work in this world, and history shows us that He is willing and able to use teenagers to do it. I love young people because they are full of life and desire to serve God in whatever way they can. They are not interested in just sitting idly by and allowing people to suffer from injustice and oppression. My calling as the Youth Pastor here at Ephrata Nazarene is to help them come alive and to allow their hearts to beat in desperation for a world that desperately needs to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and be transformed!

Brian Loging - Campus Pastor at Lebanon Valley Nazarene
"If we learn anything from the Psalms, it's that God isn't afraid of our emotions, our struggles, and our questions. The one mistake we dare not make, Philip Yancey reminds us, is to confuse God (who is good) with life (which is hard). God feels the same way we do- and is taking the most radical steps possible (Christmas, Good Friday, Easter, and more to come) to redeem the present situation." -David Sanford
