Friendship - we are all influenced by people and who better to influence us than our true friends. True friends introduce us to new things which better ourselves such as the grace of God and faith. Plus we know true friends will lead and support us.
Tayna and Michael Gebhardt, Ariel Durgana and Marcia Gebhardt, members of Christians Under the Stairs youth group and one mom.
Faith - because without faith we really can't be a friend (close) to God. If we are not a friend to God then our relationships to others can't reach a meaningful, high plateau. Additionally having faith makes it easier to pass on God's grace.
Steve and Danny Ermert, Vicky Mann and Frank Tangredi, members of Christians Under the Stairs youth group.
