PLANET X - Youth pastor Curtis Williams is ready to hit the baskets in Planet X, East Gold
Wesleyan Church's innovative project to keep kids off the streets. The kickoff for the program is
April 25 from 6-1 0 p.m. :
Church to begin Planet X program
Local church organizers are calling the new
teen program Planet X.
Pulling teenagers off the streets and into drug-
free activities is the goal of East Gold Street
Wesleyan Methodist Church's innovative project.
Curtis Williams, assistant pastor of the church,
said Planet X is the name given to the outdoor
program which was started by Jason Harper, a
~ youth pastor in Sacramento, California and is
quickly spreading around the country.
By summertime Williams envisions that 1,000
teenagers from Cleveland and Gaston Counties
will have fun on skateboard and rollerblade
ramps and at basketball goals already set up on
the church's big parking lot. Other games like
ping pong, volleyball, sumo wrestling, nintendo,
videos, ‘a Cafe X for refreshments, a live band
and drama groups presenting the gospel story
will feature the free entertainment. ;
The kickoff for Kings Mountain's Planet X will
be April 25 from 6-10 p.m. and is open to all teens
who attend middle school or high school. Teens
must have permission slips from parents and
skateboard /rollerblade protective helmets. The
only cost to attend Planet X is to invite a friend.
"The entire Planet will be portable so the site
can be moved around our community,” said
Williams who said other churches may be asked

Williams said that the group will need to find
an indoor place for the activities in the winter-
time but outdoor programs are already planned
for April 25, May 9 and May 30. Local police will
be on hand and church member Dora Bridges is
already making sumo wrestling outfits for partici-
pants.
Williams, who moved to Kings Mountain from
St. Petersburg, Fla. nearly four years ago, sees the
program as an extension of missions and reminds
youth they don't have to belong to any church to
attend.
"This is a project for our community but our
goal is to build a bridge from the community to
sanctuary and provide our area teens with a place
they can have fun," he said.
Rev. Harold Bumby, the church's senior pastor,
is also enthusiastic about the new program which
has the blessings of the church board. This week
Williams was-handing out tickets to Planet X in
the middle and high schools and promoting the
upcoming program in newspapers and on radio.
A native of South Carolina, Williams is a 1988
graduate of Southwestern University. As a youth
pastor in Florida he led mission programs to the
inner cities in Tampa and also led groups to
Puerto Rica. He and his wife. Diane, are parents
of two children, Ilissa, 6, and Robby, 5.
