PARENT RESOURCES

Welcome Parents and Students!

My name is Maddie Jackson and I have the great honor of being the youth director at Martha Bowman! I have grown up going to church here and I can say that the Lord shaped my life, faith, and beliefs in this place. The youth group at Martha Bowman provided the type of atmosphere, community, safety, and teaching that led me to fall in love with Jesus.

After high school, I attended the University of Georgia where I completed my undergraduate and master’s degree in Elementary Education. While at UGA, I was heavily involved in the campus ministry, Wesley and served at the church I became a part of in Athens.

Now, I have the privilege to pour into students in the same way men and women poured into me. The Lord is so faithful! At Martha Bowman Youth, we are committed to creating a safe, warm, and welcoming environment where students can form community with one another, learn to be servants, and grow their relationship with Jesus! We strive to do this by providing students with intentional programming, access to positive adults, and the opportunity to grow as leaders in their own God given talents! We encourage students to have fun while also going deeper into their faith!

Thank you so much for visiting our page and considering trusting your student to our ministry- we do not take the responsibility lightly!

Blessings, Maddie
