Hey, I'm Alex from Minnesota. I'm a college student at UMD majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I'm 18 years old and have always been somewhat religious(going to church but maybe for the wrong reasons)  but I want to get into it more. Recently started a bible study course so we'll see how that goes.

Well hello there. I'm Greg, i'm 20 and a sophomore at Northeastern University, I'm a chemical engineering major and it is among the most difficult things I've ever done. I obviously live in Boston and I love it because it's close enough that I get to go skiing every weekend up at loon, but I definitely miss being home in ohio sometimes. I grew up in a christian family and church is a big part of my life, all of my best friends and i attend the same church and is hence how we know eachother. In fact, the group of 11 of us spent a week out in colorado skiing every day over new years. This summer I'll be spending two weeks on a mission in Riuru, Kenya which is one of the areas hardest hit by famine and aids death. I'm really excited for the opportunity to help those less fortunate as missions, imho, is one of the best ways to spread the word without coming off as pushy or oppressive. I hope that this cult can be a good way to knock down some of the barriers that have put up between NS'ers and religion.

So live your life.

My name is AJ and I go to school at MSU in Bozeman, Montana. Im studying business which is dope cause i can ski about 4 days a week.

I came to Christ through Young Life. I was involved all throughout high school and it was one of the best experiences in my life. I was also fortunate enough to go to summer camp twice and then worked 2 summers with YL. The times I spend at those camps were the best thing ive ever done with my life this far. so awesome.

Ya im jesse im from the ice coast and although I have mad steeze Im definatly not the best park rider so I focus my time in the park on filming my buds and makeing some cheezy edits. Not to brag but I can tear up the groomers/gates haha but I dont think that is really a newschoolers thing.

I dont go to church anymore... idk why actually just slowly got away from it but that doesnt mean I dont believe. God is def a part of my life and I try to make the right decisions but I cant always but im trying... sounds cheezy I guess

hey, my name is nathan. I love to ski and hang out with my friends but God always comes first. God has always been a big part of my life. My grandpa moved to the U.S. from Norway without a job. He always had a strong relationship with God so he became a pastor. He and the rest of my family have always taught me christian principles. i have a strong faith in Christ and he has helped me through tough times, like when my mother had breast cancer. My goal in life is to start my own ski company and use it to create a program to preach  God's word and introduce people to the joy of skiiing and God's wonderful creation of nature.

Yea i kno long. haha

Hey my name's chris and Im from Boulder Colorado.  I have always been a christian but lately have been falling away.  Im trying to get better at living for our god but its not an easy thing to do in college. I fully believe in christianity and love God, dont get me wrong but find it hard to live Godly.  Anyway if anyone wants to shred here in CO or just chill let me know.  A few good influences in my life would be good haha.

im Philip, spelled with ONE L just like the disciple, but anyways im 16 and am a sophmore in good ole high school. my family has always gone to church, my dad is an elder at our church, so ive always been around the word...

i remember back in the day during sunday school and whatnot i would always say "the prayer" but my heart never really meant it, i was just to young and immature, a few years ago i was at a christian summer camp and really really took jesus in to my heart,

recently though i havent been the person i should be, you know not living the way that shows people that im a believer... i remember earlier this year me and this kid thats a slop and cusses and doesnt shower and what not were talking and he asked if i went to church and i was like yeah why? he told me i didnt cause i cussed and talked about "bad" things....

and i thought, "Holy SH*T, he is right" then i was like "oh sh*t i just said sh*t", even though the conversation was going on in my head, then i told him that he was right and i needed to live better,

then he said something like thats why "churchies are F'd up" and it made me think how he is right...

anyways ever since that september day ive been trying my best to live in a way that is pleasing to god...

So far it looks like I'm the old guy at 23.  I'm from Saskatchewan and was brought up in a multi-generational christian family and am suuuper blessed because of it.  I've been a christian as long as I can remember and it's always been an important part of my life but moving away from my family has definitely helped to strengthen my faith and to make it my own.
I ski because it's relaxing and I can unwind, I can enjoy God's creation and spend time worshiping Him with the abilities He's given me.

Hey! What's up you guys? Love the idea for a cult.. and you can definitely count me in, even though I haven't been on NS that much these days. anyways, I'm 23, name's Jarrett and I'm out in California.

I grew up in private schools and around Jesus my whole life.. sad thing is, I never knew Him. I had memorized more Bible scriptures than kids memorize lines from the chapelle show.. but did I know him nah.

it wasn't until these last few months that I really found who Jesus was. and it's changed my life =)

Hey my name is Cody im 21 and i live in langley BC. Ive been attending church my whole like but really had no idea what it meant to be a christian until maybe 2 years ago. i lived my life in fear of a lot of things, one big fear was simply speaking. I started to get in the word and understand the lief of jesus and that he had a pre destined purpose and plan for my life. I had an amazing encounter with him and was filled with the holy spirit. ive never been the same since, I know love to speak hahah and lead a junior boys bible study in my youth. I read the bible not out of a judgmental spirit but by believing that it is God breathed, I love receiving revelation from the word. I try and live my life according to the convictions that God puts in my heart. I dont try and achieve Holiness with good works but know that i am forgiven and seen righteous by God, because Christ shed his blood for us. BY simply believing that were not made righteous in the law we get to live in Gods grace! Man living a life of faith is stinkin exciting! God is always faithful. WE get to live life abundantly! I love to ski as well, finally learning some stuff this year. this is an awesome idea by the way..

What Up? Im Steve, 17 years old from Rosemere (near Montreal), Quebec, Canada Im currently in Cegep (like some messed up 2 years in between HS and University the equivalent of grade 12 &13 i guess) at Dawson College studying Science but hopefully changing to Commerce. Ive been semi religious my whole life, went to church occasionally with my family did communion confirmation and that jazz and then went to a catholic HS (Loyola High School) and there i still was super religious but did go on a retreat called Kairos that was probably the greatest experience of my life and brought me closer to God and Jesus. I don't qualify as a good christian i don't think since I hardly visit Church or pray too much but I kinda just try to be as good a person as possible and i have sorta talks with Jesus and stuff just mention my problems and thank Him for everything and ask for everyone in my life to be safe and happy. I feel like that's all i could ever want from Him, i don't need to see a second coming or anything I just believe and He's there when I need Him and I've been blessed with so much I feel guilty ever asking for more.

i'm matt, i'm 17 and from vancouver. i've been a park skier for the past 2 years and a christian all my life, but my faith really kicked off when i was 6 and hospitalized with a flesh-eating disease in my left leg. amputation was looking like a really viable option so me and my family prayed a lot. somehow i ended up being cured and from then on i knew God had a plan for me. i still live with that miracle as motivation, and i'm glad to be in this cult and represent Christ on NS.

Stoked on this cult! I'm Aaron from Boston. I'm 15, grew up as a Christian, I've got more into my faith as I've gotten older. I'm definately getting more into being a Christian now that I am older. It's sick to see some fellow NS believers
