Our Saint Barnabas community has always been committed to nurturing future leaders and young members of our church, and one way we actively support young individuals’ aspirations is through our scholarship aid program. This initiative aims to empower deserving candidates by providing them with the financial means to pursue higher education and unlock their potential.
Join us on Sunday, June 14, when we congratulate our youth members:
Scholarship Recipients
Evan VanceGraduated from Valley Lutheran High School and is attending Clemson University in South Carolina. He is interested in business, economics, and finance. Has been a member of Saint Barnabas his whole life. Loves youth group because it gives him an outlet to grow in his faith and be around kids his own age. He is looking forward to college because he is excited to spread his wings and become more independent. He is excited to spread God’s love through interactions with people and to become acquainted with the Clemson community! |
Rachel WilliamsGraduated from Horizon High School and is attending Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. She will be studying Exercise Physiology. She has been a member of Saint Barnabas for five years and has been involved in many areas of our community. Faith has been a constant rock for her, helping her share and talk about her faith with others. She is looking forward to college so she can pursue an education that will eventually lead her to a career that helps people! |
We will have a reception in the Music Center after the 10:15 service, so you can meet and greet our scholarship recipients.
Each student is receiving a total of $4,250.00.
Jeff Underwood Scholarship ($1,000.00)
Jeff loved serving as an acolyte, being part of Sunday school, and participating in other youth events and activities. Sadly, Jeff died of
cancer on January 30, 2003. Before he died, Jeff let his parents know that he would like them to encourage and honor youth at Saint Barnabas. In loving memory of their son and out of admiration and respect for the young people at Saint Barnabas, Jeff’s parents, Tammy and Jon, have established this scholarship fund to recognize and honor the young people of Saint Barnabas who, like Jeff, loved being part of this community.
We will recognize our scholarship recipients and donors at the 10:15am service and honor their participation in our Saint Barnabas church community, as well as their dedication to education and serving others.
