Madison County Business Owners!

We are looking to partner with your business to sponsor a local teenager’s trip to camp this summer. We anticipate taking 30-40 teens to camp, many of whom are in need of a scholarship to attend.

Would you consider sponsoring a kid from our county this summer? These trips are phone free, where kids experience adventure and truth alongside their friends and a Young Life leader who has been showing up to their school all year. These times away prove to be a very influential time in a teenagers life!

Thank you for considering!

Wyldlife Club is the chaos we love! Walking with our middle school friends in these goofy and formative years is our joy. Today we hosted a competitive Boys vs Girls Wyldlife Club! We heard from our leader Ava about the reality of sin in our life and what God did about it.

In a generation where so many teens feel isolated and unseen, the work of Young Life matters deeply. They intentionally show up, build relationships, and remind students that they are seen, known, and loved.

Work Crew weekend! Some high schoolers from Madison Central spent their weekend serving in the dining hall at Sharptop as families experienced the best weekend at camp. They worked hard, walked 15K steps a day, and had the best attitudes serving others!

Our volunteer Young Life leaders spend hundreds of hours with teenagers over the course of a school year.

Each Sunday, our team of leaders meets to share a meal, celebrate what God is doing, and plan ministry for the week.

A tangible way to support our ministry is with a meal for our 10 leaders. Meals can be homemade and dropped off, ordered from a restaurant, or a donation can be made to the area and we can coordinate the dinner. Whatever works best for your family!

Merry Christmas!

"I'm so glad that Jesus was born in a stable. Because my soul is so much like a stable.
It is poor and in unsatisfactory condition because of guilt, falsehoods, inadequacies and sin. Yet I believe that if Jesus can be born in a stable, maybe he can also be born in me" —Dorothy Day

Year-End Giving!

2025 has been full of launching ministries, training leaders, and showing up in the world of teenagers. God has met us in these early days and we are excited about what is to come!

To support our annual budget, we hope to raise $16,000 by the end of December. Would you consider making a one-time or monthly gift to help us reach our goal? We are grateful for your partnership and support in our mission to reach teenagers in Madison County with the gospel!
