Hey,
​
We are the Student Ministry of Eastwood Baptist Church. Our mission is to make fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ out of the generation of now. In order for us to accomplish this mission, our ministry consists of helping student discover Jesus, deepen their relationship with Him, do what He has called us to, and share with others around us. We would love for you to join our family.

YEARLY EVENTS
MISSION ARLINGTON - Each year during Spring Break, we take a group of students to work and serve with Mission Arlington in Arlington, TX. You can learn more about the work they do in the DFW area at missionarlington.org.​
SUMMER CAMP - Summer Camp is an amazing experience for students. For whatever reason, God uses camp to change lives. It’s our prayer that camp isn’t just a time for students to spend with friends, make memories, and enjoy themselves. We hope camp would serve as a mile-marker in their own personal walks with the Lord.
SUMMER MISSION TRIP - Summer mission trips involve a bit more travel than Mission Arlington with trips around the US and even the World. Students will learn what it means to truly serve others and share their faith. The expectation is that the lessons they learn would not stay on the mission-field but would be applied right here in our community. Prerequisites for Summer Mission Trips are attending at least one Mission Arlington Trip as well as an interview with the Student Pastor and other Youth Mentors. Trip destinations are announced with at least 12 months notice.
DISCIPLESHIP WEEKENDS - Discipleship weekends happen every Fall. Whether it would be a DNOW, conference, or retreat, we use these Fall weekends as an opportunity for students to grow in their faith and personal walks with Jesus.
​
Eastwood Students should be a place where young people can use the gifts and talents God has given them to make a difference. Whether this would be through giving their time and energy to serve on mission trips away from home or in a weekly basis right here in Haughton, we want young people to know how valuable and necessary they are to God’s Church here at Eastwood. We have Serve Teams involving everything from food, media, worship, and outreach. If you are a student or an adult interested in serving at Eastwood Students, contact Pastor Allen for more information.
Allen came to Eastwood as our Student Pastor in 2023. He is originally from Chatham, Louisiana, but spent most of his life in the West Monroe area. Before coming to Eastwood, Allen spent three years serving in Georgia in the Atlanta area. Allen is a graduate of the University of Louisiana at Monroe where he majored in History. He received his Master's Degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Allen is married to his wonderful wife, Lark. Together they have three children: Annie James, John Calvin, and Russell Allen. They love being back in North Louisiana and have enjoyed making Haughton home. They are passionate about young people falling in love with Jesus and living for Him now. The Goodwins love Walt Disney World, board games, and LSU Football.

FAVORITE SCRIPTURE - Galatians 2:20
COFFEE TO-GO ORDER - As a man of principle, I must make it known that coffee is yucky, and my only order is to order that it be kept away from me.
TOP BUCKET LIST ITEM - I want to see LSU win a football game in every SEC venue.
