Martin First Assembly...


Escape 

  

Escape is a ministry of Martin First Assembly designed with the college age adult in mind.  We are committed to reaching our campus, our community, & our world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Whether we're preaching, teaching, laughing, playing, or just hanging out, Jesus is our focus.  Whether you just started college & the "real world" suddenly got a whole lot scarier, you're a fifth year senior, or even if you're not in college & just happen to be about that age--stop by on Wednesdays at 6:30pm or Sundays at 9:30am & let us show you why life shouldn't be that intimidating! Better yet, meet us on campus at UC 231 on Monday nights at 7pm!

Everyone has their own opinions of what it means to be mature. It's not just a product of aging, but rather a mindset that is found in different people—some old and some young.

Maturity...

… is the ability to control anger and settle differences without violence or destruction.

… is the patience, the willingness to pass up immediate pleasure in favor of the long term gain.

… is unselfishness—responding to the needs of others, often at the expense of one's own desires or wishes.

… is the capacity to fare unpleasantness and frustration, discomfort and defeat, without complaint and collapse.

… is humility. It is being big enough to say, "I was wrong", and when right, the mature person need not say, "I told you so".

… is the ability to make a decision and stand by it. The immature spend their lives exploring endless possibilities then do nothing.

… means dependability, keeping one's word, coming through in a crisis.

… is the art of living in peace with that which we cannot change.
