ONE14 STUDENTS
Meet Your Youth Pastors
Jacob & Diana Smith
Ps Jacob has been at COLG for his entire life while Diana began attending COLG at a young age after being taken in by a church family. They've been married for nearly 10 years, have a 8 year old daughter, Emma, and a 4 year old daughter, Reagan! They carry the vision of this house as their own, and continue to serve in various capacities other than youth pastorship. Diana serves as a member of Maranatha, that is COLG's dance team. They're adamant about continuing to grow the youth ministry, helping young people reach their full potential, and above all - winning the youth of Winchester for Jesus Christ.
Youth Ministry at Church of the Living God
One14 Students is the youth ministry of Church of the Living God, created to help students encounter Jesus, build authentic faith, and discover God's purpose for their lives. We believe that this generation is not only the future of the Church—they are a vital part of the Church right now.
Every Wednesday night, students gather for a high-energy, spirit filled environment filled with worship, biblical teaching, meaningful relationships, and plenty of fun. Our goal isn't simply to entertain teenagers for an hour; it's to develop disciples who know God's Word, experience His presence, serve others, and boldly live out their faith wherever God has placed them.
At One14 Students, we are passionate about creating a place where every student is seen, valued, and challenged to grow. Whether a student is new to church or has been following Jesus for years, they will find a welcoming community committed to helping them take their next step in their walk with Christ.
We believe life change happens through the power of the Holy Spirit, healthy relationships, and consistent discipleship. Through weekly gatherings, special events, camps, outreach opportunities, and leadership development, we are investing in the next generation of believers who will impact their schools, families, communities, and the world for Jesus Christ.
Meet the Team
This is our A-team,
the incredible humans that makes youth ministry happen every week at COLG!
One14 Students is led by a dedicated team of leaders who are passionate about seeing students encounter Jesus and grow into all that God has called them to be. Our team is committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and Christ-centered environment where students can build friendships, ask questions, and develop a genuine relationship with God.
We don't just lead programs—we invest in our students. Our leaders serve as mentors, encouragers, and examples of what it looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life. Together, we are committed to helping students discover their purpose, strengthen their faith, and become lifelong disciples of Christ.
