Nathan Stover (Director of Youth Ministry)Graduate of Spring Arbor University. In December of 2010 I received my bachelor degree in Youth Ministry. I am currently serving as the Director of Youth Ministry at Portage UCC in Portage, MI. My wife and I are dedicated to serving Christ by developing the lives of young people. Relational ministry has been a focus for me. My goals in ministry focus on four main points: Helping students and parents attain a better relationship with each other, building relationships by mentoring/discipling/demonstrating Christ-like love, equipping teens with resources to help them be who Jesus calls us to be, and helping those in need (homeless, poverty-stricken, etc.). My goal is to bring students back to who Jesus calls us to be (caretakers of the poor, needy, widows and orphans, and providers for those who are hungry) while at the same time providing them with a safe environment to learn and grow in Gods Word. Through my life experiences and knowledge of the Bible through Christ, I feel I will be able to start something new in the hearts and minds of teens in todays culture.

Mission Trip 2012

About The Motown Mission ExperienceThe Motown Mission Experience is an urban work mission destination in Detroit, MI for Christian youth, college, and adult groups interested in economic disaster recovery work in the name of Jesus Christ. Begun and continuing as a United Methodist connected organization, the Motown Mission offers an experience deeply rooted in Wesleyan theology and the contemporary UMC's call to mission and service as a means for individual and communal transformation.Who can participate?Youth groups with students entering 7th-12th grades are invited to join us each Summer as we gather in the City of Detroit to do home repair and service work for the people of Motown. College groups are primarily invited to register for our season of Alternative Spring Break weeks throughout February, March, and April. Adult groups can participate in a VIM week of service and cultural immersion.Overview$275 per personLive at historic Metropolitan UMCWork at project sites from 9am-3pm dailyTake afternoon trips to the most fun places in "The D"Participate in great evening activities like worship, small group conversations, a Detroit Tigers baseball game or other cultural event, live concerts by local musicians, and great speakers from around Detroit. AccommodationsMotown Mission accommodations will be at Metropolitan UMC in the New Center Area of Detroit. We use a number of Sunday School rooms there as dormitories. We have access to about 20 cots for use by those in need. Youth and any adults who would like to bring air mattresses are invited to do so. Guys and girls usually are on two separate floors. Showers are in the basement by the gymnasium and are individual stalls. Meals are included in the $275/person cost (Sunday Dinner - through Saturday breakfast). Lunches are made and bagged in the mornings and taken to the work sites, and dinners are cooked and provided by Motown Mission staff and/or volunteers from supporting churches.Work ProjectsAll groups will be engaged in economic disaster recovery work projects. Motown Mission Experience partners with home repair agencies in the Joy-Southfield, Brightmoor, and Wyoming-Plymouth neighborhoods of Detroit, MI. These partners prepare lists of work projects, home owners, and other volunteers that we partner with for work projects. Other partner organizations include feeding and greening ministries like the NOAH Project, Friends of Detroit garden group, and Capuchin Soup Kitchen. Motown works with each group to match their skill level and interests with appropriate projects. More intensive home repair/construction projects are reserved for older or more experienced groups.Evening ActivitiesEach evening of your Motown Mission Experience, the Motown Staff help you prepare and lead worship and devotionals to reflect on your day of service work. Special outings, including visits to other local church bible studies give an introduction into the diversity of religious communities in Detroit. And, each week the Motown Staff work with you to organize and evening out for a cultural event, like a Tiger's baseball game or visit to one of Detroit's museums. All these help participants understand that this work that they do is happening in an active community of people whom God loves and who have much to share with visitors.
