Student Testimonies

  • Brooke shared:

    "I first came to the youth group when I had just moved here in 2021 and it was scary at first, but I ended up making friends that I still have today! It’s been a big part in my walk with Christ and I feel like I’ve changed so much throughout my time at the youth group. I’ve gotten the opportunities to do so many cool things and have so many different experiences."

  • Annie said:

    “Being at youth group has completely changed my life forever. I’m very thankful for youth group and all the people. God surely works in amazing ways and I can see how much he works at youth group and through all the people there. Youth group is when I feel the Lord the most and just around the Christian community is the best feeling ever. I have gotten the opportunity to help out at youth group and meet all these amazing people and I never want to leave.”

  • Reggie shared:

    “WFMC youth group has made an amazing impact on my life, I never started consistently coming until the beginning of 8th grade, I loved the way that everyone was so inclusive and incredibly nice. Youth group has really helped me grow in my faith and made me realize how many people there are for me when I need any guidance or encouragement. I really love this youth group and I'm so happy I have the opportunity to come every week.”

  • An anonymous student wrote:

    “Youth group here is so fun. It is a fun way to be with people but also worship and be with God. This place made me feel so much closer to God and the people around me. My friends and I love coming here to worship and have a great experience!”
