Going Public

LS YL has partnered with a local church- Lees Summit Community Christian. I felt God calling me as Area Director of YL to partner and attend a local church so YL students who don't have a church home would feel safe and welcome to attend. LSCC has been a great influence on our students and is continuing to stretch them in their faith. With that partnership God is at work. Today I had the honor of baptizing two YL students who now attend LSCC. Through YL have decided to say YES to following Christ. It has been a joy and a privilege to watch them grow in their journey with Christ and baptize them today! Celebrate with me what God is doing in LS!

5 C's of Young Life

Club: Club is our once a weekly event that lets kids be kids. We give kids the opportunity to be kids again by singing, dancing, and playing crazy games. Students hear a message from the Bible in terms they can understand. YL club is for everyone, no matter where they stand in their faith.

Contact Work: Where there are high school kids there are YL leaders. We believe in earning the right to be heard by building friendships with kids. We come to their turf, whether that's sporting events standing in the stands beside them or coming up to after school and grabbing a Sonic.

Campaigners: Campaigners are small groups made up of students and a leader committed to sharing their lives, struggles, and joys with one another. Student grow deeper in their faith as they explore the Bible and God's love in a life-changing way.

Camp: Young Life states...."Camp is the best week of your life." That is a proven fact. Kids get the chance to have adventure camping at resort quality facilities and share an unforgettable experience. Kids get to leave their normal routine while they hear about and process the need for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Church: Young Life is not the church. We desire our students to be a part of local a congregation. If our students are ready to go deeper we strongly encourage them to attend a local church.
