Reaching kids:
A Place To Belong.
This fall our leaders continue to connect with kids. Zoom Clubs, texts, phone calls, and social distance visits are just a few ways we keep growing friendships and showing God's love to our Young Life Friends. We can't wait to be together again in person, but until then we will see you on Zoom!
Having Fun at Zoom Club with our Friends!

1100+
Kids known by name over the last

Although we hope every kid has a chance to come to one of our fun events, we are aware that our greatest impact is made within relationships, not events. With every passing day, we strive to get to know the specific name of more and more kids in our area.
