I have been involved in my church youth group since I was about 13. That's 15 years...gosh!
I started out as a youth and did all of the typical youth group activities as a youth. I loved it. Then I progressed into a Youth Leader.
I believe whole-heartedly in my church's youth group. I can't speak of any other church's youth group but mine is awesome! I loved it as a youth and I love it more as a leader.
I spent a week with these crazy teenagers at the Higher Things Conference in North Carolina. We had some trials throughout the week but overall I would consider the week a gigantic success!! And this is only part of the youth group!! This group happens to all be seniors or in college and they have grown into amazing young adults!!
