"I BELIEVE" COMING OF AGE SUNDAY

"I BELIEVE" 10 AM Coming of Age Service | April 12, 2026 Speakers: Owen Showalter, David Rodman, Muriel Arthrell-Knezek, Tucker Meek, Hunter Reece Smith, Imogen Mize, Finn Burk, Cedar Jacob, Oliver Voelker Introduction by Corey Smith, Youth Coordinator and Commisioning by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar. Description: What does it mean to truly believe something — not because you were told to, but because you've wrestled with it, questioned it, and claimed it as your own? These young people stood before their community and answered that question with radical honesty: one found God in the beat of a drum and the sway of trees at Walden Pond; another discovered that doubt isn't the enemy of faith, but its guardian; one found salvation not in scripture, but in the quiet miracle of someone simply showing up. Some reached toward the cosmos, others toward Buddha, Christ, emotion, nature, or love itself. What they share is not only a creed — it's courage. And when a sword is placed in their hands and they're told, you are no longer children, something ancient and true stirs in the room.
