We've updated our blog to add a page specifically set up for you!  There will be updates at least every other week that will range from what we're doing at Elevate, to the weekly small group material with a specific question you can ask your student about, or even some challenging info from other great pastors.  If you ever have a question about Elevate or how you can connect better with your student I'd love to help be a part of that.  Feel free to contact me through email at bshephard@baylife.org or call me in the office at 661-3696 ext. 318.

In Christ,
Brenton Shephard
High School Pastor
Bay Life Church

]]>Greetings!http://www.elevatestudents.us/home/2011/9/9/greetings.html[Your Name Here]2011-09-10T00:38:21ZBy now, you’ve probably heard the news that there’s a new High School Pastor at Bay Life Church. I wanted to say hello and to let you know a little bit about myself. 

I grew up right here in the Seffner and Brandon area and graduated from Armwood High School in 2001. After high school, I went on to Hillsborough Community College for my Associate’s degree and then to Trinity College of Florida where I completed my Bachelor’s in Christian Ministry. For the past two and a half years, I’ve served as the Middle School Pastor at Church @ The Springs in Ocala, Florida. You may also remember that from early 2006 to 2009 I served at Bay Life as the Life Groups Administrative Assistant. God has given me a passion for students and I’ve had the privilege to be involved in student ministry through volunteering, internships and serving on full-time staff for the past eight years.

High school students aren’t just our future, they’re our present and I believe there’s no better time to influence them than right now. Every day, teenagers face all kinds of choices. I pray that I can help as many as possible choose to live a life that’s Christ-honoring and help them make their faith their own. It’s my sincere hope and prayer that I’m able to partner with you and help your student in their journey. If you have questions, please call me at (813) 661-3696 ext. 318 or email me at bshephard@baylife.org.  

In Christ,
Brenton Shephard
High School Pastor
Bay Life Church
