Trey Bray’s life is a puzzle.
And he’s trying to solve it.
A 16-year-old junior at Saint James High School, he has lived in Saint James, Missouri for most of his life.
His parents belong to the Church of Latter Day Saints, but Trey finds himself being pulled by peers to spend more time in his town’s non-denominational Christian church. As the oldest child in the household, his parents want him to take on more responsibilities and watch after his younger siblings more often--forcing him to make some decisions that have impacted his life.
This is Trey’s story.
Trey studies a bible while his pastor recites the youth group's quote to remember for the week, "In him was life, and that life was the light of men".
Every week, he attends youth group at the non-denominational St. James Christian Church on Scioto Street.
His parents attend the local Church of Latter Day Saints in a nearby town.
