This month, we’re excited to sit down with Tiffany Mars, the dynamic co-chair for the Teens Ministry in the Ontario Conference. Known for her passion, energy, and heart for young people, Tiffany has been helping shape spaces where teens can grow in faith, leadership, and confidence.

While there are lots of reasons to be excited to reach the end of another year (ex. exams finally being over, getting to hang out with loved ones, upcoming family dinners, etc.), remember that this season is a perfect opportunity to reflect Christ’s love by giving back to those in need.

Be encouraged that, in a generation searching for meaning, your ministry continues to point young hearts to the true Hope of the world. Thank you for your dedication, your sacrifice, and your steadfast support of Ontario Conference Youth Ministries throughout this year.
