Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the sudden passing of not only a co-worker, and a friend- but she was family! She was truly a Godly woman whose faith wasn’t just something she spoke about—it was something she lived out daily through kindness, humility, and love for others.

Her presence brought peace, her words brought encouragement, and her life pointed so many to Christ. While we don’t understand why her time here was cut short, we KNOW that she is now fully healed and resting in the arms of her Savior she loved so deeply.

Please keep her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her in your prayers. She will be deeply missed, but her legacy of faith will continue to live on in all of us.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” 💛.

🗣Know the Risk:
In Tennessee, 16% of high school students report using ma*****na in the past month. Early use can increase the risk of anxiety, depression, lower grades, and experimenting with other substances. For teens, ma*****na can impact memory, learning, and decision-making. At Youth Town, we help teens overcome addiction, develop healthy coping skills, and take steps toward a brighter, healthier future.

At Youth Town, faith is central to our mission, and few moments are as meaningful as witnessing a young person give their life to Christ. Over the past six months, 49 young men and women have chosen to follow Jesus and taken the powerful next step of baptism.
Baptism is more than a ceremony—it is a bold declaration of faith and a symbol of renewal. Each student stepping into the water represents a turning point and a new beginning.
Following baptism, teens participate in weekly discipleship classes led by local pastors and Gideons who faithfully volunteer at Youth Town. Together with staff, families, and peers, we celebrate these milestones and continue walking alongside each student as they grow in faith—reflecting the heart of our mission to help young lives truly be transformed.
