🌸✝️ Happy Easter from Youth Core Ministries! ✝️🌸

Today we celebrate the greatest victory in history—Jesus has risen! 🙌
Because He lives, we have hope, joy, and new life.

As we reflect on the empty tomb, may our hearts be filled with gratitude and our lives shine with His love. Let’s continue to share His light with the world and walk boldly in the promise of resurrection.

“He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.” – Matthew 28:6

Wishing you and your family a joyful and blessed Easter! 💛🌷

With most staff working remotely we don’t always get to be in the same room—but this week, we were 🩷
Our annual Winter Retreat gave us space to review our mission, refocus our goals, grow in character, and listen closely to what God is calling us to next. We laughed, prayed, planned, and simply were together.
These moments shape how we work, how we lead, and how we serve. So thankful for this team and the season ahead.

🎉❄️ YCM 2026 Winter Camp ❄️🎉
Two weekends. Two age groups. One unforgettable encounter with Jesus.
I’m beyond excited for this year’s Winter Camp!! Join us at camp for junior high (Feb 20–22) or high school (Feb 27–Mar 1)! We will be heading to Prairie View Christian Camp for a weekend packed with bonfires, zip lines, paintball, worship, and — most importantly — Jesus Time.
These camps aren’t just fun (though they’re crazy fun). They’re sacred spaces where students meet God, build friendships, and walk away changed. We've seen it happen year after year — and we believe this year will be no different.
If you’ve got a student in 6th–12th grade, don’t miss this.
📍 Ark City, KS
💰 $120
🚌 We leave on the Friday after school, return Sunday afternoon
🎶 Live music, challenge tower, fun chapels, and more!
Let’s go make memories, meet Jesus, and come home on fire. 🔥
