I love Five17 because it is a place where I feel loved and accepted. I know I can be myself when I'm there; I don't have to act like somebody I'm not. We all take care of each other, and we're always pouring out love to one another. Five17 is my second family. I love CCC because it's a fun church that makes learning about God interesting and exciting. CCC also has the best worship!! The thing about Five17 that has touched me the most is the people. I love every single person that is part of our Five17 family and they have touched my life in ways they will never know. My favorite Five17 activity is probably our Ski Frenzy. I love going up to Tahoe and not having to worry about a thing. It's a place where I can enjoy God's beauty and a place where I can rejuvenate my soul. I also love the Five17 mission trips. I've been on a few now and they are the most life changing experiences. I've witnessed miracles and seen people devote their lives to Christ; mission trips are the most wonderful, greatest, uplifting, powerful experiences ever!!

The top reason I love Five17 and CCC is because my friends and the youth leaders

What has changed my life at Five17? The youth leaders all the way. They connect with us in so many ways. I am so thankful for them! You can talk to them in personal ways and they always keep it between just you two.

My favorite Five17 activity is small group because it is a time to be yourself and to express your opinions without being judged. Ask questions and not be ashamed. We have such a great group of people, and I am so happy I could be a part of this youth group. They all have changed my life in so many ways.

What has touched or changed my life at Five17? What leader hasn't changed my life for the better? Small Group is my favorite Five17 activity because it gives me a chance to hang out with a group of Senior guys I truly like, and we get to pray for each other, and help each other out with all of our hardships.

I love going to Five17 because everyone is so welcoming and friendly. They also have many fun activities to do. The sermons are inspiring and keep me going every week. At youth group we have a small group time. It has helped a lot because I can talk about things I normally wouldn't, and get any questions I might have answered by our leaders. The hayride is my favorite Five17 activity because it was so much fun! I especially enjoyed going to sing to the Senior Citizens. I met a lot of new people and became closer to my friends.

The fellowship at CCC and Five17 is AWESOME!!! There are so many super nice people who go and I totally enjoy seeing all their faces every week. Five-17 has really become a safe place for me to open up and be who I really am. The small group that I'm in is a total encouragement to me in the middle of my week! I totally love the music at Five17! I love to worship and stuff..oh and the games!!! Those are fun too! ;-)

I love Five17 and CCC because it is my family where there is not any pressure or negative feelings towards anybody including myself. I have so many new friends that I have met at Five17, I now have a close relationship with God, and I am changing my life to a more positive outlook on life. I really LOVED Ski Frenzy because I learned a lot about myself and all my friends. And especially Youth Group every Thursday nights helps me remember that I am worth a debt that I could never repay.

Top reason I love Five17 and CCC? It's an awesome place to get to know a bunch of people my own age, who have the same beliefs as I do. I also like that the leaders interpret the stories in the Bible and apply them to our everyday lives. Five17 is so much fun!! I love going to church now. I really like the games that we play at Five17; they're really fun. "Small groups" are better on a more serious level, though, because it's a good time to learn about God and ask questions.

I love Five17 because it is a tiny family. I love CCC because it we are a large family who helps and cares about each other. When I didn't know Five17, I was shy and I didn't want to know anyone, but Five17 opened my heart and let God take over! Because it is where everyone is equal! I love it when all of Five17 is together on a trip, like SKI FRENZY!

I love Five17 and CCC because it is where we have Small Group, it's fun to talk to everyone in the group. We should have more time (in Small Group)! Five17 changed my life so that I feel equal to everyone and nobody teases me! The top reason I love Five17 and CCC is because I feel like a family to everyone and I'm closer to God in every way!

I love the worship (at Five17 and CCC), and the activities and the trips. I have never felt so connected in a youth group to God or the people. Everything at CCC brings its member closer together and I love knowing I have another family at church. The people at Five17 have changed my life. Having so many people to support me and so many positive views of the world I can be much happier with everything in my life and I know that there is always someone who will understand my problems. I love Thursday night youth group because worship is so much better with a small group of people that you're close to and there is always something fun to do and some lesson for us to learn.

Top reason I love Five17 and CCC? I love it because were all one big family, and i get to meet at least 1 person new every week! I have become a better person, and people have told me that I've also become a lot more open towards everyone and everything. My favorite Five17 activity was at our 80's party last year. It was so funny watching people with shaving cream on their faces get cheese puff's thrown on them from the other persons mouth.....it was the person who had the most cheese puffs stuck to them wins! It was so funny!!
