About the Student Pastor

Bobby Lemley, Student Pastor of Maranatha Fellowship Church in Saint Albans, West Virginia, has devoted himself over the past five years to building a place for student from the ages of 12 to 24 to come and experience a powerful relationship with Jesus Christ through praise, worship, the Word of God and fellowship.  He and his wife, Jessie, have made it their goal to reshape youth ministry in today’s church as a whole by raising the standards for teens and pointing them to the uncompromised cross of Christ through visual arts, music, messages and events that stimulate the Spirit of the student.  He believes that if students will begin to believe they are not the church or tomorrow but the church of today then they will endure spiritually on their walk with the Lord through their trying teen and twenty-something years.
