Horse Cave Baptist Church in Kentucky has an eye on the future with a renewed commitment to children’s ministry.
New pastor Casey Carver said he stepped into an ideal situation where nearly three dozen adults have joined together to disciple and teach children every Wednesday. It all happened before he came on the scene.
“Trust me, it’s nothing that I’ve done,” said Carver, who began serving as pastor in September. “The interim pastor (Dan Garland) before I came told them they needed to get these things squared away for the new pastor. He told them if they wanted a youth program, figure out what they wanted to do now.”
‘Ringleaders’
Carver said the “ringleaders” of the NG3 (Next Generation Grow Groups) are Megan Banhidy, Debbie Pennington and Lori Blumenberg. Banhidy’s father is a pastor at Living Hope Baptist Church in Bowling Green. There is plenty of help standing with the leaders, he said. Everybody working together has made it happen.
