We will continue to offer worship online at 11:00 am on Sundays and invite you to join us in that opportunity. Read more: http://bit.ly/39Mtvy3

Youth Programs Kickoff This Sunday (at Long Last)!

Youth Ministry Staff Uptate!
Introducing Katie Patterson, Fourth's first Urban Youth Mission Director. Katie has been with us for five years now and has built Urban Youth Mission into a vibrant, important youth ministry program while also working with our junior high youth. Now she's all about Urban Youth Mission. It's going to be even better now.

And introducing our new Youth Discipleship Coordinator, Jasclyn Coney!

Jasclyn is a native of Chicago who grew up at Trinity United Church of Christ. She earned her bachelor of arts in psychology from Chicago State University in 2012 and then obtained a master of arts from Roosevelt University in clinical professional psychology with a dual concentration in both child and family systems. She is an adult, child, and adolescent psychotherapist and a certified domestic violence and sexual assault advocate.

Jasclyn also earned a master of divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary in May of 2018. Her favorite scripture is Psalm 23. She believes God has called her to work both within and outside the walls of the church by supporting, cultivating, and advocating for diverse community settings to ensure justice within institutional and sacred spaces. She is the founder of Jascyln Nichelle Ministries, which promotes holistic wellness by contributing knowledge and expertise in the fields of mental health and Christian education in order to equip others to maintain healthy and balanced lifestyles.

Congratulations Katie and welcome Jasclyn. This is going to be great.
