My name is Wayne Johnson and I have recently been hired as the Young Adults Pastor here at Reston Bible Church. I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you what is currently going on in this ministry.

First, as a new pastor at RBC, let me share just a little about myself. My wife Julie and I were married December 21, 1985, and together we have 4 children. Two have recently graduated from college and two are currently attending college.  Julie essentially grew up attending RBC, so when we were married, I was introduced to the church at that time.  Consequently, we have been a part of the RBC family for quite some time.  In recent years the Lord has done a deep and marvelous work in our personal lives.  (For more on that, you are welcome to view this video.)

Second, who are young adults at RBC?  That is a great question, and here is how I answer that; anyone who is out of high school, usually that is about 18 years of age, up to, (and this is where it may be a little tricky, because I am finding out people vary on when they think someone is no longer a young adult) oh, 30-35 something? We seek to minister to all in that age bracket whether single, married, with children, without children, single parent, etc. Whatever stage of life you are in, you are welcome.

Julie and I are very excited about what the Lord is doing and we believe He is going before us as we seek Him for wisdom and guidance regarding what He wants for the young adults at RBC.  Currently, the Lord is bringing together a number of men and women with a heart to serve in this ministry.  As Julie and I meet with these people, we are seeking the Lord for direction, ideas and all kinds of ways in which He would lead us to follow Him in making disciples of all nations and what that means for this specific group of people at RBC.

We believe that sometime in November 2011 we will launch an all-new young adults ministry.  Please stay tuned for more updates in the near future.  In the meantime please be praying for us.  This is a crucial time, as we need the Lord’s wisdom to build a ministry on a firm foundation.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
