Sunday school This fall!
The Gospel of Matthew:
This fall, Chapters 1-12
At CTR, our mission is to grow our kids closer to Christ and closer in community to one another through three main ways: fellowship, discipleship, and service.
Discipleship:
The primary way we hope to develop the youth into disciples of Christ is through our Sunday School time.
During the fall of 2025, we will cover the first 12 chapters of the Gospel of Matthew.
Fellowship:
Community is foundational to our life as Christians, and we hope to create space for rich friendships among our youth.
Our main time of fellowship will be Sunday evenings through meals together, fun activities, and low-pressure gatherings.
Service:
St. Francis de Sales once said, “Great occasions for serving God seldom come, but little ones surround us daily.” CTR believes that Christian Service is an indispensable aspect of the Christian life. To the end of seeing Christ shaped in your children, we aim to participate in several service projects throughout the year and are hopeful to attempt a mission trip summer of 2025. Some of these service projects will be done after Sunday School, and some will be done in our time together Sunday evenings.
Capital Campaign
Becoming a City on a Hill…
youth initiative.
Our Youth Garage Sale with Lemonade Stand was a tremendous success !
Our youth raised almost $1400!
That's a lot of treasures sold.
It wasn’t a complete sell out, so our communities benefited from our left-over items through such organizations as Half Price Books, Goodwill and Manna Storehouse.
Thank you to our youth and all those who donated items and volunteered their time for helping us get closer to building a city on a hill.
Anglican youth minister &
assisting priest
Fr. Charles (Bubba) Humphrey
Fr. Charles, affectionately known as Bubba, is originally from Natchez, Mississippi, but he got to Texas as soon as he could in 2021 as our Assisting Priest! He became a Christian in November of 2003 and soon afterwards enrolled in Wesley Bible college where he received a B.A in Biblical Literature and Theology … to which then led to Wesley Biblical Seminary, graduating in 2015.
Fr. Bubba brings to his ministry passion in engaging the culture with the beauty and truth of the Gospel with teaching, apologetics, or just sitting down for a chat over a cup of coffee.(He is open to lunch too!) He is honored to be a part of reaching the youth of CTR and prays the Lord’s blessing over the coming generation of believers.
On a personal/family note… he is married to his lovely wife, Eva. There is no question, Fr. Charles loves kids. He has 6 of them (and they are all amazing) and the one born in November 2021 is with Eva;)!
