Day in the Life of...A youth pastor

David Conlee, the youth pastor for Horizon Community Church starts setting up "The Garage", which is the theme for the youth room. David, his wife Jenny, and a handful of volunteers start in the early afternoon to prepare for the junior and high school youth group services that are hosted Sunday nights. 

As 5 'o clock comes around, junior high students pour in, and David makes his way around to connect with each one and see how their week has been.

What's better than dodgeball? Kickball! A little later into the night, David and the high school students, begin their second round of kickball.

After the game is over and the band has finished playing, David settles things down to discuss the short sermon he has spent the week preparing for the students.

As the last of the students trickle out, David and the crew start to close up "shop" after a long, but worthwhile night.
