The Studio

The Studio The Studio is this awesome place full of awesome people. So, if you are awesome, you should fit right in.

The Studio was founded in 1998 by Art Ellingson who rented a building to have a music studio and give guitar lessons when unexpectedly teens in the area started coming and hanging out which lead to the band Mainstay, weekly concerts organized by the teens themselves, and the monthly student lead worship event called "1st Wednesday." In 2000 Art decided it was time for a bigger building so he bough

t the old Town Hall building where he moved The Studio and his family and started working for a ministry called Youth For Christ and the ministry of The Studio continues to this day. The Studio is open for youth events, concerts, and just a great place to hang out.

Equality,
Identical twins are born. So identical, NO ONE can tell them apart. That is equality of opportunity.

Equity,
As they grow and mature, they make choices. Other people respond to those choices, with choices of their own. It is utterly impossible that they would ever end up equal over their life time. That is equality of out come.

When I joined YFC over 25 years ago, I chose a focused training track called JJM, Juvinile Justice Ministerues. The reason I chose that training track is because I saw many of the youth who came to The Studio, were either involved in the justice system, or a family member was.

Whether reaching these youth, for Christ, before they become involved in the system, or after. This is a sub culture that the church can easily miss, as it goes unseen by most of the community. Out of sight, out of mind.

Please keep us in your prayers, as we seek the lost, no matter where they are found.

Every year, over 740,000 teenagers in the United States find themselves involved in the juvenile justice system. Just as Jesus meets us where we're at, Juvenile Justice Ministry meets young people in their most challenging moments, offering support and guidance, and helping them to discover God's story of HOPE in their lives!

Here at The Studio in Mountain lake, and Studio B in St. James, we operate what is called City Life. We serve a higher number of minorities than that which is reflected in the community.

These youth are 1st and 2nd generation Residents, who’s parents left there homes elsewhere, either in search of economic opportunities for themselves, or educational opportunities for their children.

Urban families moving to a rural community. Thus, YFC must adapt to the new needs the youth face. As we minister more to the un-churched, we become less visible to the church. Out of sight, out of mind.

Please pray for us, as we reach out to the lost.

….

City Life! We SEE you! You are the HOPE in so many communities across our nation. We dream that the youth of our cities come to know Jesus and make a positive impact in the neighborhoods in which they reside. Blessed are the hands and feet of those who lead where they live!
