Meet the Team
Clover Maples
Church and City: Trinity Lutheran, Winfield
Grade: 11th grade
Fun fact: I play golf for my school. I also enjoy choir and musical theatre.
Fav Bible Verse: John 5:15. I like it because it shows how living in Christ and branching out to others to follow him will bring great joy in your life. It is also my confirmation verse.
Why YouthLead? I wanted to be in YouthLead because it was a way to be involved in the church as a whole instead of just my hometown church. I also wanted to be able to reach out to other people to share the good news of God.
Erin Meyer
Church and City: Trinity Lutheran, Winfield
Grade: 12th grade
Fun fact: I am a Sunday school teacher for my church. Also I do cross country and track for my school.
Fav Bible Verse: Romans 1:16! This verse helps me to feel empowered to share God’s word.
Why YouthLead? I am excited to be a part of this team because I see it as a wonderful opportunity to share and strengthen my faith.
