Because kids don't care how much you know until they know how much you care, Young Life leaders show they care by going where kids are, meeting them as they are, and believing in who they are and can be. This is "contact work" - building genuine friendships to earn the right to speak the truth about Jesus into the lives of teens.
Each week, LTYL hosts "club" where all kids are welcome. We like to think of it as a party with a purpose. It's controlled chaos that's almost impossible to describe, but kids know it when they see it. And before the party ends, we share a simple message about God's love for them. After all, that's what all the celebration is about.
In addition to Club, "Campaigners" is a weekly gathering for students who wish to learn more or grow in their faith alongside their peers and leaders through study, service, and leadership. We invite students to actively follow Jesus Christ -- and we're with them for the long haul to help them take those steps of faith with unconditional love. Along the way, we encourage kids to celebrate their faith through participation in a local congregation.
We believe this work is essential in today's culture. Kids need the message of Christ now more than ever. With this at the forefrotn of our ministry, we invite the local community to invest and partner with us financially, giving our staff and volunteer leadership the opportunity to put all their efforts towards pursuing kids with the message of hope through Jesus Christ.
