Matthew 18:18

Hello world!

Welcome to Greater Bethel's Access Granted Youth Ministry's blog!

My name is Samuel and I serve as the Minister to Youth at Greater Bethel AME Church in Gainesville, FL. I have the opportunity to work with some of the best young people in the world!

It is an amazing thing to see youth on fire for God and to be able to watch them grow spiritually.

We have started this blog to share thoughts, experiences, lessons, and highlights from various events sponsored by the Greater Bethel Youth Ministry!

Matthew 18:18 is the theme scripture for the youth ministry. The name, Access Granted, was the name given by the pastor for the ministry. At Greater Bethel, the youth are taught that they have the power to access the many blessings and desires that God has in His kingdom. The power that Christ gives allows us to be able to combat the tricks of the enemy, while releasing an abundance of favor from the overflow to live in His will!
