Introducing Our New Youth Director

admin — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 01:00:16 +0000

Dear Friends,

After interviewing four candidates for the Youth Director job, the Staff-Parish Relations Committee has decided to hire Andy Oquinn. I’ve asked him to write an article about himself. Andy will begin working in December and we plan to introduce him to the congregation on Sunday, December 5.

— Pastor Bob

My name is Andy Oquinn, and I’m excited to be joining the First Methodist family.

I was born and raised in Pasadena, Texas, an industrial suburb of Houston. I became a believer at the age of nine, mostly through the witness of my parents and grandparents. In 2007, I moved to Southern California to study at Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, California, finishing my Master of Arts in Cross-Cultural Studies in September 2009. I then spent this last year as an intern at a small church plant called Hope Community Church. I enjoy playing music with friends on my violin, reading, watching baseball, and spending time with my soon-to-be fiancée Iman. I won’t tell you how soon she’ll be my fiancée, just in case she reads this… ;)

I am very passionate about multicultural and multiethnic ministry, as well as discipling young people and seeing them grow in their walks with God. I’m looking forward to joining with what God is doing here in Torrance, and am excited to get to know many of you, especially the youth! See you soon.

— Andy Oquinn
