Hi everyone! My name is Julian Rambob (he/him), and I’m excited to be stepping into the role of Interim Youth Ministry Leader here at Parkside. I’ve been part of the Parkside community for many years, and it’s a joy to support a youth program that has meant so much to our community.

I've worked with young people in a variety of settings, including serving as a youth trainer and teacher at Peace Village, where I supported youth development through mentorship, education, and community-building. I’ve also worked extensively in educational and research environments that emphasized listening, care, and meeting people where they are, all skills I will bring into ministry.

As youth minister, my hope is to create a welcoming, thoughtful space where middle and high school students feel heard, valued, and encouraged as they explore faith, identity, and community together. During this interim season, I’m especially excited to listen to the hopes and needs of our youth and families and to help sustain and nurture the strong foundation already in place at Parkside and form a vision for a permanent Youth Minister.

I’m really looking forward to getting started, building relationships, and walking alongside our youth during this next chapter.
