The Young Lions Ark Encounter trip was a tremendous success!
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our brothers, sisters, friends, and supporters for your generous prayers, donations, and encouragement. Because of your kindness and support, our youth were able to experience an unforgettable day of learning, fellowship, and growing together in their faith.

We truly could not have made this trip possible without you. Thank you for investing in the lives of these young people and helping create memories that will last a lifetime.
From all of us at Young Lions Youth Ministry, thank you for your love and support!

"And let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." — Galatians 6:9 (NLT)

The lesson for the Young Lions Sunday 6-14-2026,
Titled: Love God, Love People
Matthew 22:37-40.

When Jesus was asked what commandment was the most important, He gave a simple but powerful answer: Love God with everything you have, and love others as you love yourself. Jesus taught that every other commandment is built on these two foundations. As followers of Christ, our relationship with God should affect how we treat people every day. When we truly love God, we will show kindness, compassion, forgiveness, and respect to those around us.
A real relationship with God is seen in how we love Him and how we love others.

This week, spend time showing your love for God through prayer and worship, and intentionally show Christ's love to someone who may need encouragement, kindness, or forgiveness.

If we get these two commands right—loving God and loving people—we are living the heart of what Jesus taught.

What an incredible week at Transformation Youth Camp 2026!
I am so proud of these Young Lions: Lennon Sanabria , Kaydence Hargrave, Katelyn High , Addi Roe, Emma Roe, Casey Griffie, Aria Sutherland, Curtis Meeks, Isabella Meeks, and Jasmine Massey. Watching what God did in their lives this week was truly amazing.
Some of these kids at camp came in broken, afraid, unsure, and not even wanting to be there. But after a few days of encountering Jesus, being surrounded by God's presence, hearing His Word, and being ministered to by leaders and friends, something began to change. Walls came down, hearts opened up, and lives were transformed.
Seeing these young people surrender at the altar, make decisions to follow Christ more deeply, and take the next step through water baptism was a powerful reminder that God is still changing lives. The fear was replaced with joy, the hurt with hope, and the uncertainty with purpose.
Thank you, Jesus, for what You have done and what You will continue to do in their lives. This is what transformation looks like!

We have some incredible young talents in our Young Lions Youth Ministry!
At just 13 years old, Katelyn High is already stepping up and using her gifts to serve the Lord by playing with our Praise and Worship Team. It’s powerful to see young people boldly use their talents to glorify God and lead others into His presence.
Katelyn, we are so proud of you! Your dedication, courage, and heart for worship are an inspiration to everyone around you. The future is bright when young people are willing to answer the call and use their gifts for God’s kingdom.
Keep shining and keep worshiping! 🦁
