Waterhouse Youth

Our vision for youth ministry is that each youth come to: 

1. Know God, 

2. Own their faith, & 

3. Live out their faith. 

We help them do this through: 

1. Teaching God's Word, 

2. Creating a safe place for them to ask questions, &

3. Helping them find ways to apply God's word to their world.

Get to know our leaders

Below are some of our amazing small group leaders.

Karen Bastible

Youth Pastor

Karen has been serving in youth ministry for over 6 years. And has been with Waterhouse Church since 2019. Karen grew up in Amarillo, Texas and there she realized her call to serve in youth ministry. 

If it weren't for her being surrounded by so many amazing youth leaders when she was younger she wouldn't be where she is now. That is why she works hard to place your youth with leaders who care about your students faith. 

Schyler

Girls Small Group Leader

Schyler is one of our amazing small group leaders who spends time getting to know the girls in her small group. She has been at Waterhouse Church since she was a youth. Schyler has a contagious laugh and is always excited to make new people feel comfortable and seen. 

Mark

Guys Small Group Leader

Mark has been a leader at Waterhouse Church as long as he's been able to. He has led the children's ministry, is part of the worship team, and is one of our favorite guys small group leaders. Mark can find anything to talk about and you'll never be bored when he's around. Mark is a great speaker and you can see him as a Sunday morning guest speaker here.

Reagan

Girls Small Group Leader

Reagan is the most trendy of all our small group leaders and can usually tell you what that new word your youth has been saying means. She is wise beyond her years and has such a kind soul. Reagan and Schyler are sisters and often lead small groups together.
