“I go to the youth group at Hope Foursquare church on Bickford Avenue in Snohomish. I like the youth group because it is a place where I can grow in my faith and also hang out with my friends. We often watch an uplifting or challenging video and then break into groups for conversation about it afterwards. After the fair-related part of the youth group, we play a variety of games. I would recommend trying a youth group because it is a place where you can have fun and also grow and learn. Jesus is important to me because he gives me hope and shapes how I live my life. My faith impacts my life by giving me something bigger than myself to live for and to love. I am more able to love others by speaking truth and being kind,” Stauffer said
