Young Life Welcoming New Members

Toni Johnson, Editor in Chief

Young Life Summer Creek invites all students to join them every Monday at 7:07 p.m. right down the street from the school at 12159 West Lake Houston Parkway. At Young Life students can find adventure to new places, fun with their community and the ability to form a relationship with Jesus. All grades are welcomed. Find weekly updates on their socials at summercreek_yl.

Students already in Young Life encourage others to join as well because of the experiences they have had.

“I joined Young Life because my friends introduced me to it,” junior Kyran Duhon said. “I like that it’s just high school kids around your age and you are able to interact with new people.”

Junior Keilah Quillens joined Young Life because she wanted to find an environment where she could share her love for God.

“I like the way that I am able to express myself freely and I don’t have to hide who I am,” Quillens said. “Everyone accepts you as you are.”

Some students have been in Young Life for years like junior Kameron Miles who has been involved since his freshman year.

“I joined Young Life in the 9th grade because my friend Matt told me about it,” Miles said. “He said it’s a church but for kids that are high schoolers across the world. I knew I was going to like going to it because it’s for people my age. When I was younger I did not go to church like that, so I thought it was going to be a great experience for me and people around me. I like Young Life, because it’s a great experience and I think I learn more from Young Life than church. As a kid you are not as focused as a lot of the older people. You are wandering around. I like smaller groups and you get to know more about God. You can interact with kids your age and see what they are going through.”

Junior Kayla Jones agrees that Young Life helps her learn more about God.

“I joined Young Life because I thought it would be fun to hang with people who also want to become closer to God,” Jones said. “Something I like about Young Life is spending time with everyone and having an amazing time.” 

Young Life hopes to see you on Monday at 7:07 p.m.!
