Voices of the Future: Youth 13–18 Share Their Art and Faith

We close our Jesus, Church, and Me art series with a powerful final gallery: submissions from youth ages 13–18 across the Grand Canyon Synod.

As part of our path toward the 2025 Synod Assembly and its guiding theme—“Build Up the Body” (Ephesians 4:12–13)—we asked young people to show what Jesus, church, and community mean to them. The responses from our teens reveal a rich maturity of faith, emotion, and identity.

Their art explores complex themes: grace and doubt, love and justice, belonging and transformation. Some pieces use symbolism and abstraction; others are deeply personal or inspired by Scripture. These young artists remind us that faith doesn’t just grow—it wrestles, expands, and inspires.

Each piece will be:
