âWe donât ever want it to feel stale,â said Kyler Morales, youth director.
âWe want (Anchor Youth) to be full of life,â said Oceans co-pastor Dawn Panthin, who works with her husband, head pastor Shannon Panthin, and helps out with the youth program.Â
Youth night at Oceans also includes devotionals presented by Morales, Panthin and other youth leaders, snacks and singing. Through all of the activities, the leaders are able to develop personal relationships with the youngsters.
âAll of the leaders do a good job of not making (Anchor Youth) stale and in building relationships,â said Morales.
âThese kids are full of life, so we want Anchor Youth to reflect that,â said Panthin. âWe want Anchor Youth to be full of life (and to include) all the energy and excitement thatâ kids bring to the program.
