SHAPLEIGH BAPTIST
YOUTH GROUP


Thomas, 17
“Youth group has really had a huge impact in my life. Several years ago, I started attending as an unbeliever. Seeds were sown through the youth group leaders’ dedication; the positive, welcoming environment; and the well-structured, engaging lessons. In 2014, I accepted Christ’s gift of salvation on a Sunday night after a youth group meeting. God is doing big things in the lives of Shapleigh Baptist Youth Group members.”

"SBYG is super important to me, mainly because of all the amazing friends I’ve made there. It’s so different than other youth groups: there’s no cliques or anything. It’s just a bunch of great people who love each other! The leaders are amazing and so full of love and compassion. And, at least for me, going to SBYG has been like a little escape from reality, and just a time that I can relax about my problems and just have fun with people I love."

Sophie, 19
"As someone who has always felt like the odd one out, I can honestly say that the friends I made in SBYG will be my friends for life. During my time there, I was encouraged to step out of my comfort zone, to grow, and to eventually learn how to positively influence the world around me and those who come after me. I am so thankful for what my time in SBYG has taught me! I can now go on to make a difference in this world knowing that I have friends who have my back and role models who will support me."
