Tegan Inns’ Faith Journey at St. Peter’s

Graduating senior Tegan Inns reflects on growing up at St. Peter’s from infancy, first experiencing faith through church community and activities like Easter egg hunts, Advent candle-making, children’s sermons, and praying nightly with her sister. As an acolyte, she began paying closer attention to services and saw Mother Paige’s teachings as life lessons, while youth group discussions with Madeline, Joseph, and Gabriel helped her form her own understanding of faith. Tegan describes faith as something that grows in daily moments and became especially meaningful amid high school stress and disappointment. She shares how unexpectedly committing to the University of Washington ultimately felt guided and comforting, shifting her faith from routine to trust in God’s presence in good and bad times. She thanks St. Peter’s, its leaders, choir, and her parents, and closes with Scripture affirming Jesus’ continuing presence.00:00 Growing Up at St Peter's00:23 Childhood Faith and Traditions01:20 Serving as an Acolyte01:49 Youth Group and Personal Belief02:26 Faith Through High School Stress02:39 Finding My Path to UW03:22 Gratitude to the Community03:50 Carrying Faith Forward04:01 Scripture Farewell
