Madison Youth Group
helping each other grow closer to God
The Madison Youth Group is open for all students in grades 7-12. We offer a wide variety of Bible classes and activities throughout the year like retreats, Winterfest, summer camp, Impact, and Sunday and Wednesday night Bible classes. We fully believe in our mission statement by reaching up to God, reaching out to others, and reaching in by growing closer in our relationships with each other.

Jon Micah Richardson
Where do I begin? First and foremost, you must know that am supported by an incredible, behind the scenes wife, Jennifer. Like many minister’s wives, Jennifer is often labeled as the youth minister’s wife or Jon Micah’s wife. She’s SO much more! God has given me the energy and passion for ministering to families and has blessed me with a wife that supports that calling. Just before graduating from Lipscomb University, Northside Church of Christ brought me on part-time until I could proceed in full-time work - I worked with the Northside Church of Christ for just over seven years before recently heading down the street to Madison. God has opened new and exciting doors! Although families are my passion – I’m thrilled to begin the process of developing young men’s ministry designed to encourage and persuade young men to take on the challenge of becoming the Godly young men, committed husbands and devoted fathers that God has called them to be! I’m currently in the process of completing my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy at Trevecca and can’t wait to use it as a tool for ministry! On behalf of my family – thank you for the warm welcome to the Madison family! Jon Micah's Myspace

Having been at Madison since 1996, I’ve really found a spiritual family here. I love working with the MYG and the college-age students both, and it’s really hard to see myself doing anything else. Some of my favorite things in the ministry are having Sunday Night Live and College-age activities at my house (it’s so much fun being with people in a home setting), the Jamaica mission trip, Impact, girls’ retreat, and camp. When young people open their hearts to the Lord and the “light goes on”, it's something that just fuels me to do what I do. I’ve been blessed to teach a few Bible classes at Lipscomb, and this semester I have 9 former MYG’ers and visitors in my class! My children, Kendon and Easton, have been greatly blessed by this church and student ministry family, and hopefully have blessed others as well. We are so grateful to be a part of this body of believers and we’re so excited about what the future holds. I’m thankful that God is using me in spite of myself as a vessel in this ministry.

Sharon Farrell
My position in the Student Ministry is to be the “behind the scenes” support for the ministry team, students, and parents. I am in the office daily to answer questions, give directions, mail needed items, etc. In addition to my job with this ministry, I serve as a Coach for the Class of 2010, of which my daughter is a member. I am also the parent of two MYG graduates. It is an absolute pleasure to work with this group of people. Their genuine love for the teens at Madison is evident in all they do. I am here to help you in any way I can. Sharon's Myspace

Wes Claiborne
I am 20 years old and from Murray, Kentucky. My parents’ names are Danny and Gina and I will be a junior at Lipscomb University. I plan to finish my degree in Youth Ministry and enter the field of full-time ministry. While in high school I played baseball, soccer, and was a drummer in the band. I still love drumming and currently play soccer at Lipscomb. My favorite food is potatoes, I love long walks on the beach, and I am a hopeless romantic. I am thrilled to be here working under such an amazing staff with such a fabulous church. I know that God is going to work in some enormous ways this school year and it is my prayer that we all grow closer together and closer to Him.
