Youth President
I am blessed to serve as the Youth President here at Lansing Int. Church of Nazarene. My desire is helping young people discover their unique potential and grow in an intentional and meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ.
I lived here in Lansing most of my life and have been involved in our church community since 2020. From an early age, I felt the calling of Christ on my life and have devoted myself to His service as I come to know God’s love and the value of serving others.
My goal for our youth ministry, “Linaz Youth,” is to create a welcoming space where every youth/teen feels understood, heard, valued, and encouraged to surrender their lives to Christ. I truly believe our youth are not just the future of the church, but the church of today!
One of my guiding verses is 1 Timothy 4:12: Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love , in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Outside the church, I’m passionate about physical fitness, reading, playing soccer, traveling and spending time with my family/friends (especially my adorable 6 months old daughter, Amilla).
I’d love to connect with you! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or just want to chat, I enjoy a good conversation on today’s societal view of the Christian walk and salvation. You can email me or catch me after service on Sundays.
In His service,
Linaz Youth President
