THE CAUSE:
  Our team is about taking students through three dynamics that will enable them to spread Christ through their community: Reach, Connect, Grow.  We have designed opportunities that allow them to REACH the needy.  We organize monthly activities so they can CONNECT with each other.  We pour our time into feeding them with the knowledge and understanding they need to GROW.

Kevin and Danielle McManus

Student Pastors

For many years Kevin and Danielle have been deeply committed to mentoring students.  Their focus is to love the student who is confused, broken, and often times overlooked by showing him or her that Christ is the only source for life.  They believe that each student can have an encounter with Christ and live a life with unlimited possibilities.

 Kevin’s story begins in Winston-Salem.  He grew up here, graduating from Mount Tabor High School in 1994.  He then went on to attend Southeastern University, receiving a degree in Church Ministries in 2002, but, more importantly, this is where he met Danielle.  From there he served in Irving, Texas, as a youth director for four years.  But, in 2006 he sensed the Lord was calling him back to the town that almost took his life, so he returned with a renewed sense of passion to face the enemy that tries to take hold of so many teenagers.  Since moving back to Winston-Salem, Kevin and Danielle have become parents to a precious little girl, Addison.  In addition, Kevin will complete a Masters in Ministerial Leadership this summer.

Austin Bailey

Middle School Pastor

 Winston Salem was his birth place, and ironically the place where he almost lost his life.  Now he has a passion for the kingdom of God to take root in the hearts of youth.  He graduated fall 2008 from Southeastern University and Jesus has summoned him back to W-S.  His purpose is to create an environment where middle school students experience God, form a bond with each other, and begin to develop their identity.  All these while having crazy fun.
