The Studio

The Studio The Studio is this awesome place full of awesome people. So, if you are awesome, you should fit right in.

The Studio was founded in 1998 by Art Ellingson who rented a building to have a music studio and give guitar lessons when unexpectedly teens in the area started coming and hanging out which lead to the band Mainstay, weekly concerts organized by the teens themselves, and the monthly student lead worship event called "1st Wednesday." In 2000 Art decided it was time for a bigger building so he bough

t the old Town Hall building where he moved The Studio and his family and started working for a ministry called Youth For Christ and the ministry of The Studio continues to this day. The Studio is open for youth events, concerts, and just a great place to hang out.

Sometimes, all it takes is one safe space, one caring mentor, and one open Bible for a young person to encounter Jesus in a life-changing way. One student started coming to our new City Life gym each week—mostly for basketball with his friends. Bible study wasn’t the draw… at first. But week after week, trusted leaders showed up, listened, coached, and opened God’s Word with them. Then something shifted. After a study on anger, the group experienced a dramatic change in how they treated each other. Respect. Kindness. Self-control. Hope.

A few weeks later, this student ran to Bible study saying, “Is it time? I’m actually excited!”

God is writing a new story in him—one of growth, faith, and joy in Christ. And it started with one invitation and one caring mentor who said “yes.”

Because every “one” matters to Jesus.
Because “one more” is always worth it.
