Media

Bus Ministry

The Kast family has been involved in CGC’s bus ministry for over 18 years. Their focus and mission is to impact children’s lives by building relationships that help children connect to Church and Christ.  Each Kast family member has a personal reason for their involvement in this ministry. They all emphasize the importance of reaching souls and making a difference, even if it's only one person. One thing they feel is important for everyone to remember is “While we want hundreds to come on the buses, even if we just had one, we would still run the buses because the one is worth it. There is no distance too far to drive to reach a soul.”

The Kast family is also involved in:
Yard care, Ushers/Greeters, Mens’ Prayer, Christian Growth Academy, Accounting office, Ladies’ Ministry, Sunday School, Youth, Bible Quizzing, and Project Servanthood.
