TRENT WILSON: INTERIM STUDENT MINISTRY LEADER

Trent A. Wilson was born and raised in South Haven and South Haven Christian Church. An alum of SHCC's Christian School from 2004 to 2016, Trent knows everything there is to know about the youth ministry of our congregation.


The youth are the backbone of our future, and he wants to ensure that they are given the proper spiritual foundation and opportunities. Trent is very thankful to be working as the Interim Student Ministry Leader of SHCC and hopes to continue growing our current youth group, the FORTRESS Student Ministry.


In his spare time, Trent is quite the nerd, often spending his free time writing, playing games of all varieties, and planning awesome events with his "right hand man" and best friend, Jonathan Otano, a fellow member of SHCC who volunteers in our youth program.
