Genesis
Genesis is a musical ministry for high
school youth around the community
of Gresham and Portland, Oregon. Most of the students in Genesis are from Trinity Lutheran
Church, but we Click here to go to the Genesis pagealso have students who come from other
traditions. Through the media of music, drama, and dance, we proclaim the good news of
Christ Jesus. With determination, hard work and prayer, we share this ministry to a variety of
settings and people of all ages. Over the years, we have performed in churches, schools,
universities, nursing homes, and camps up and down the West Coast of the United States and Canada,
and in Idaho and Nevada. We have two messages to share as we perform:
first, the good news of the Gospel, and second, that contrary to what people may hear in the media,
high school students are generous, responsible and loving.
