“Student Life has taught me how to not only follow Christ but how to LIVE for HIM. Student Life has shown me the importance of applying God’s word in my everyday life, as well as how important it is that we use His word as a resource. I believe that Student Life is important because it brings the youth up with the right tools they need while showing them the importance of living for God. TOC Student Life has impacted my life in so many ways and I know it will continue to do so. God is moving in TOC youth, and that is such an amazing blessing.”
“Student Life has taught me the importance of reading His word. Having that relationship with Him makes me a better person. Student Life also brings me close to other people that also love Jesus and helps me see Him through them! Student Life has helped me form relationships that I want to cherish for the rest of my life and has also helped me become a better Christian.”
“Being new to the area senior year has been really difficult, but the immediate connections I made at Student Life were so incredible. Over the past few months Student Life has been the highlight of my week, and has helped me make some of my closest friends. Learning about the Lord and being able to worship Him and see my classmates do the same has truly been one of my favorite life experiences. I’m forever grateful for the Christ-centered community that has been given to me through student life and the blessing it has been.”
