SOY Leadership Team - "We strive to be DIFFERENT!"
Tyler and Kamrin Wolfe
Youth Pastors/MS Leaders
Tyler and Kamrin would like to begin by saying that your
youth are the primary focus of this ministry; more specifically, their personal
relationship with Jesus. They hope that each youth, through the seven
years as a part of Souled Out Youth group, will become a mature adult who has
established their own personal walk with Jesus; ready to serve His Kingdom
every day as they move out from under their parent’s umbrella into the life
that God has for them. Just to reiterate, they want you to know that your youth’s
relationship with Jesus is their primary focus.
Now, the real reason you clicked on this link. Tyler
and Kamrin met while they were students at Pflugerville High School.
Kamrin has been a part of the New Hope Community Church body since the church
began. Tyler became a part of the church in 2004 when Kamrin invited him.
After high school they both went to college and both pursued degrees in youth
development and family relationships at The University of Texas at
Austin. Throughout this time they felt the call of the Lord to minister
to youth. They have been active leaders on the youth leadership team
since 2006. In 2008, they were married , and they are expecting their
first child this November. Tyler and Kamrin have continued to minister the Love of
Jesus to the youth group. This year, they were asked
to take the pastoral role of Souled Out Youth. Humbly honored and
excited, they accepted this great request. They are thoroughly excited
about the opportunities that are ahead of them. They feel that it is a
great honor that the Lord would choose them to be His servants, and they are
honored to have the opportunity to share the love of Christ with your youth.
They want to personally thank you for trusting them with your children and for
allowing them to help you establish a lasting personal relationship with Christ
in your youth. They want you to know that if you have any questions or
concerns not to hesitate to ask.

Julian and Ashley Pack
HS Leaders
Ashley and Julian have been married since 2003 and have 3 wonderful boys, Caleb 4, Joshua 2 and Micah, born May 8, 2011. Julian has been involved in youth ministry for seven years. He loves the opportunity to individually, and as a part of a team, effect young men and women's lives, forever to some degree. They feel that tt truly is an honor that not everyone partakes in, that God allows them to serve him and advance his kingdom in the lives of the youth. Julian feels particularly called and has a passion to disciple high school boys, to help them knock, and seek, and ask, until they see the face of the Lord. Ashley has been involved with the youth both as a helper and a leader for 5 years. She really enjoys just being around the kids and seeing what God is doing in their lives and seeing how God is equipping them now, to be used as they get older, for his kingdom. She also enjoys seeing how God is using the youth group, as a team, to show his love to the community around us, on our missions trips, and to minister to each other and build each other up. She has grown tremendously as a believer just by being a part of this team and she looks forward to watching all the kids grow up and seeing all that God has done in their lives through the youth group.
