Youth Coordinator

Seth Hastings

Hello, My name is Seth Hastings I am currently the Youth Director at Good Shepherd UMC. I was born and raised in the Colorado Springs area, and went to William J. Palmer High school. After graduating I attended Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln, NE and received my bachelors in religion. Once I graduated from college I began to work with youth. I started in York Nebraska working at a collection of group homes for boys. I then began working as an intern at Saint Paul's UMC in Lincoln NE within the youth program. After two years of working both of these wonderful jobs I decided that I needed to be back in the great state of Colorado, and was blessed enough to find Good Shepherd UMC!
