Youth Minister
Hi, my name is Steven McFadden and I am the Youth Minister here at North Heights. The “teen years” are such a crucial time in a person’s life. I feel like it is during this time that the young person is seeking truth and hopefully finding, and growing a faith that will keep them strong through the transitional time of their life that is ahead of them. The goal of our youth group is to promote the growing of that faith by gaining knowledge and putting that faith in action. I hope that if you are a teen or a parent of a teen here in the Batesville area that you will look into what the North Heights congregation could do for you. If you have any questions feel free to call or email me!

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
In this verse we see the faith we need [...]

Do you remember ever being so scared you couldn’t move? Or, do you remember pulling the covers over your head because you didn’t want to face that terrifying monster or intruder you thought might be lurking in the corner of your room? If so, I hope most of those memories are from your childhood. I [...]

~Exodus 3&4~
“Say Whaaat?” Is what I picture Moses thinking in front of that burning bush when God asked him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses asked some what if questions and then God showed him his power through signs that he would reproduce in Egypt. I guess Moses still was not [...]
