Growing up I always went to church with my family and believed in the Lord, but never had a real personal relationship with Jesus. I didn’t really enjoy going to church and just kind of went becuase my parents did. It wasn’t until I was in 7th or 8th grade when I got interested in learning more about Jesus and developing my own personal relationship with him. I had always looked up to my parents and grandparents for their faith, so in 2021, at my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary I went up to them and told them I wanted to be baptized. They asked me if I knew what it truly meant and I told them no I just knew it said to do so in the Bible. We talked more about it that day and they wanted to give me my own Bible so I could learn more and develop my relationship with Jesus. So, they gave me my first Bible and that is what really started my relationship with Jesus Christ. I began going to youth group at a different church for a few years, but after a while I desired a deeper message. So that’s when I came to Coastal Life and I loved it. The youth groups are amazing and it truly helped me to strengthen my relationship with the Lord and I’ve made so many great friends. I had been putting being baptized off for a while but it had always been on my mind. So I talked to my good friend Tainoa about it and he helped me figure out how to go about it. The Lord has done so much for me in my life and I am so happy to be taking this next step in declaring my faith in Jesus!
