Pastor Stan Markowski, the new leader of youth groups at Cypress Church has some great activities planned for local students. “These next six months are going to be exciting,” said Markowski.
“Our ‘Love Like Jesus’ campaign is an opportunity for students to understand what the core of Christianity is all about and discover how to serve others,” he said. “We will have a talent show in April and a high Sierra camping experience in June.”
Markowski grew up in Long Beach and has lived in the Southern California area most of his life. He attended Biola University where he received a B.A. in Biblical Studies. He then went to Talbot Theological Seminary where he graduated with an M.A. in Systematic Theology in 2010.
After graduation, Markowski served in an internship position in Toledo, Ohio at Westgate Chapel where he worked with junior high, high school, and college students. In 2011, Markowski began serving as an intern at Cypress Church with the junior high and high school students. Recently, he was selected to be the full time Pastor of Cypress Church Student Ministries.
The next major event on the horizon for Cypress Church Student Ministries is “Cypress’ Got Talent,” an annual dinner and variety show that features singing, dancing, comedy sketches, skits, and instrumental performances by scores of local teens. It will be held on April 2 at 6:30 p.m. at Cypress Church.
This coming summer, Markowski and his staff plan to lead a group of more than 60 students on a week-long outing in the Sierras at Hume Lake Christian Camps. Reservations are now being accepted for this exciting experience.
Cypress Church youth groups meet weekly on Tuesday evenings and also hold many special events. All junior high and high school students are welcome to join in the fun. Junior high students meet at 6:30 pm and the high school group starts their meeting at 7 p.m. Service activities include helping feed the homeless along with the Cypress Church Knights of the Holy Grill.
Markowski has high hopes for local teens. His desire is to provide a place where students can encounter God and grow in their relationship with him. The Cypress Church campus is located at 6143 Ball Rd. just east of Valley View. Sunday worship and Bible study is at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Information about Cypress Church Student Ministries is available by calling 714-952-3001 or by email at stan@cypresschurch.net.
