When I signed up, I was told all I had to do was show up about 9:30 am and lead a group of kids from one activity station to the...

Read about Barbara Doores' faith journey as a youth leader and what led her to host the Trietsch Youth Life Group in her home:
There are so many lessons that I have learned throughout my life. There are opportunities we should grasp. There are challenges we should face. There is undeniably a God we can trust. There is growth for ourselves when we realize it is not about us.

Does God guide people together? I will admit that I'm never sure how God works. But in this case, I do think we were guided together.
Our Life group is not large, but we don't need to be. We enjoy hearing about each other's weeks and discussing God in everyday life. One...

David Taylor sees the connection between storms and growth. Read his Life Group story and come this Sunday to join a group.

I see God in storms. The power and...
