Y&FC is a place where students are invited to pursue a God who longs to reveal His purpose and plans for them.

We can’t wait to see what God will do at camp this year!

Speaker 2027

Cole Branstetter

Pastor Cole has been serving in pastoral ministry for nearly 20 years and has a passion for helping people take their next step with Jesus. Although he grew up in church, it wasn't until the summer between his sophomore and junior years of high school, while attending teen camp, that his faith became personal and he began taking his relationship with Jesus seriously. Little did he know how much that experience would shape the direction of his life!

Cole is a 2010 graduate of MidAmerica Nazarene University (MNU). After graduation Cole married his middle school sweetheart, Rachelle, and together they have four children. When he's not pastoring, you'll likely find him building a home or shop alongside his Amish friends, out hunting or fishing, working on his latest project around the property, cheering on his kids' sports teams, rooting for the St. Louis Cardinals, or on an exciting adventure with his family.

Cole believes that following Jesus is about so much more than simply attending church—it's about a real, life-changing relationship with Him. Having experienced firsthand how God can transform a teenager's life at camp, he's excited to spend the week with you and see what God has in store for this generation of students!

Worship Team 2027

Jade and Chance Roberts and Thomas Miller

Thomas Miller and Chance Roberts go way back, building their friendship during their MNU days and traveling to camps while serving together as part of the Relentless team. Jade attended Trevecca Nazarene University before moving to Missouri. Chance and Jade met at Y&F Camp at Pinecrest in 2021. This camp has a special place in the heart of all three worship leaders, and they are thrilled to be back this summer!

Thomas serves as Outreach Pastor at Harvester Church of the Nazarene. Jade serves as the Worship Pastor at Harvester, and she and Chance love to lead worship together, especially with the youth band.
