Weren’t able to make the October 10 Generation Z Luncheon? That’s ok! The presentation was recorded!
Are we preparing kids for a world that no longer exists? Norman takes information from the Barna Group “Gen Z” study and other sources to explain what today’s kids believe and how we can reach them with the truth.
We want to give a big thanks to Pastor Moore and First Assembly of God for hosting the event, and to Deb Baker and Amy Wagner for their willingness to cater the event and set the room!

Rapid City Dessert Reception – April 3
Here is what people said regarding the 2018 Ministry Leaders’ Capitol Summit in Pierre:
What was the most rewarding part of the Capitol Summit in Pierre?
“Ushering prayer into the capitol”
“Praying with the legislators”
“Dr. Kenyn Cureton was a wonderful speaker.”
“Meeting State Officials”
“Filling the capitol with praise to God as we sang three songs on the steps in the rotunda”
“Meeting with like-minded believers”
PASTORS, as an encouragement to you, here is what people said regarding their pastors not being able to come:
“… I want to know from my pastor, where our church stands on the issues…”
“As Christians, we may not “like” politics or government, but we cannot afford to not be involved, concerned & engaged.”
“…it is important for leaders who are Christians to gather in Pierre and let their legislators know how they should vote in light of morals and values.”
“Do not fear, come to Pierre! You have influence! Come put [it] into action at the Capitol.”
“Your role is important in our country.”
“Need to be involved and concerned in what is happening legislatively in the State. Need to understand what your support means to the legislators.”
“Come fight for our State and country through the power of the Lord.”
On February 6th Pastors and Ministry Leaders from across the state converged on the Capitol for a day of education and encouragement.
The day began with a light breakfast in the Rotunda including a quick briefing on capitol protocol and a list of what was on the legislators’ agenda for the day. Teen Pact alumni gave a Capitol tour. Our guests were then able to connect with their legislators, to pray with them, and to see part of the legislative process. Before leaving the capitol the whole group met on the Rotunda steps for a picture with the governor and for singing in that great hall. What an amazing sound!
Community Bible Church provided lunch for our whole group as well as several legislators. Thank you again for your hospitality!
Dr. Kenyn Cureton from Family Research Council brought a great challenge to the legislators focusing on the godly legacy of Ronald Reagan (his birthday was February 6th) and his implementation of godly morals in every area of government. Dr. Kenyn also encouraged the Ministry Leaders to live out “I am a Soldier of the Cross, Here I Stand!”
God is doing an incredible work in our State. He is giving the church the opportunity to impact our culture with His Love and Truth. We want to take every opportunity to shine as a city on a hill.
-Phil Shively
It’s that time of year again! Every year we invite Pastors, Priests and ministry leaders the State Capitol for a day of networking and inspiration.
Bus transportation is available from Rapid City and Sioux Falls.
The day starts at 9:00am (CST) in the Capitol rotunda with a light breakfast and coffee, then a brief presentation. We update everyone on the recent happenings at the capitol, introduce them to our family-value allies, and give them an explanation on the layout of the building.
After the presentation everyone is free to explore the capitol, pray with their elected leaders, or take a tour led by FHA Interns (or do all three!). After a picture on the capitol steps, everyone leaves the capitol and goes to Community Bible Church in Pierre for lunch.
This year our keynote speaker is Kenyn Cureton, Family Research Council’s Vice President for Church Ministries! Kenyn will share his heart as to why we as Christians are called to influence every aspect of our culture with Christ’s morals. Then at 2:30, we explain the many resources we have brought with us on the resource table, and you’re off! Home in time for supper.
When: February 6, 9am to 2:30pm
Where: Capitol Rotunda
Who: Pastors, Priests & Para-Church Ministry Leaders.
New for 2018: Every attendee is welcomed to invite a youth member from their church to shadow them for the day! Take a young person with you who you believe will appreciate a hands-on experience at the Capitol!
