A Message To UNA Students from Kevin Johnson, Minister to Students

 

TO OUR COLLEGE STUDENTS

A WORD FROM KEVIN:

Welcome to FLORENCE, AL. and the UNIVERSITY OF NORHT ALABAMA!  Truly, it is one of the loveliest settings for a campus in the south. Don't forget to check out or new mascots, Leo and Una.  I hope and pray you are ready for a great year at UNA in 2007-08.  You will find that so much happens so quickly that you can lose track of time. But let me challenge you to make time for God and find a church home while you are at UNA.   I would love to have you visit our college ministry. Our church is praying God will send us college students who are committed to Jesus Christ and to FBC.  I am praying that God will do some awesome things in our group this year and I invite you to be a part our College Ministry known as 737 Ministries!

 

There have been many students impacted by FBC College Ministry.  Amanda Matson has served as a missionary in Mexico for several years.  We’ve had several students go into the military and our serving our country today.  Jason & Alissa Anderson are special members of FBC to me because they met in our college ministry. This year we’ve had students serving as summer missionaries in Florida, Washington, Kenya and other places as well.  We have seen students from Africa to Japan; from California to Missouri; from Mobile to Huntsville:  and even from right here in Florence.  Students from nearly every state have been involved in our college ministry.  It is truly a diverse group and a variety of students that make up the College Ministry of First Baptist Church, and everyone is welcome!

Do not hesitate to email me if you have a question or need some help. (Although, I am not too sharp on physics!) Drop me a line at kjohnson@fbcflorence.com  or you can facebook me at Kevin J. Johnson.

I hope to see you at FBC. Remember we have Worship at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday Morning and 6:00 p.m. on Sunday Evening.  Wednesday Evenings at 7:37 p.m. you will not want to miss COLLEGE BIBLE STUDY.   It is the highlight of the week for many college students

Where do you find First Baptist Chucrch?  We are located next to the Florence Library on Wood Avenue just 3 blocks from UNA in downtown Florence.

Where to find the college group on Wed. Night?  Enter on the back side of the church (from Walnut Street) by the "ARK" and go downstairs.

Look forward to meeting you and ROAR LIONS!!!

Kevin Johnson
