Today’s youth profile highlights Jessie, who just started high school this fall. She has also been attending LBC since its very beginning, and is going to share her perspective on the youth group.

How long have you been a part of Lumos?

For a little over three years now.

How have you changed since first being in Lumos and now?

When I first came to Lumos, I was quiet and didn’t know the staff members that well. Now, I do know the staff members; I’m getting involved; and I also have the privilege of seeing my sister in Youth Group, too.

You’ve been through all stages of LBC’s children’s ministries (nursery, children’s, and now youth). What is it like growing up in Lighthouse?

I don’t remember Nursery or Sparklers… In Children’s, I began to learn about God and what the Bible. In Youth I learned about the Bible, but in way more depth. Growing up in Lighthouse has made it my second home! I know a lot of the members and I get to talk and learn from them.

What is one significant lesson God has been teaching you lately?

One significant lesson God has been teaching me lately is that vacation is not a time to be slacking off (devotionals and homework included). During vacations, it’s easy to get sidetracked with free time and fun time.

What was the transition from middle school to high school like?

The transition middle school to high school was very stressful… New teachers, classes, location… but I think I’ve adjusted to high school life pretty well now.

What is one thing you want people to know about you?

I seem not talkative, but I like talking to other people. Please say hi!

What are your hobbies?

I like reading, origami, arts and crafts, running, and playing volleyball.
