Sawyer
Sawyer has been a student leader at Valley High for the past two years, and he brings a contagious enthusiasm everywhere he goes. He has a natural ability to get students involved, helping even the most hesitant ones jump in, participate, and genuinely have fun. His energy sets the tone, but it’s his heart that makes the lasting impact.
Sawyer intentionally shows the love of Christ by noticing each student as they walk through the door, welcoming them in, and making sure no one feels overlooked.

Jay
Jay has been involved with Youth for Christ for the past few years, and his journey is powerful. As he shares his story, you can feel the weight of what he has walked through and the hope God has brought into his life.
There are many more young people just like Jay who feel trapped with no way forward beyond the juvenile justice system. But Jesus offers a different story, and there is a place for you in helping bring that hope to them.
Juvenile Justice Ministry
Preston
We meet young men every week who have never known life outside the juvenile justice system. For many of them, instability, broken relationships, and hard choices have been their normal. They’ve never been shown another way.
Preston was one of those young men. But God had a different story in mind. Through faithful mentors and the truth of the Gospel, Preston encountered Jesus in a real and life-changing way. His story is powerful, and it’s proof that no one is too far gone for God to redeem. Take a moment to watch his testimony.

Layden
Layden’s story is a powerful reminder that no life is beyond the reach of God’s grace. Not long ago he was in a juvenile facility, but today he is walking in freedom and sharing how God has changed his life. Take a moment to listen to his testimony from Comedy Café and see the impact that caring adults and the hope of Christ can make in a young person’s life.

J'Naye shares about her time at Campus Life with honesty and gratitude. She talks about walking in unsure at first, not knowing what to expect, and slowly finding a place where she felt seen, valued, and loved. Through weekly meetings, meaningful conversations, and leaders who truly cared, Campus Life became more than just a club: it became a safe space.
