Every day, our staff and volunteers are connecting with young people where they live, learn, and gather—at community centers, middle and high schools, juvenile facilities, coffee shops, and local hangouts. In Kalamazoo and Battle Creek counties alone, there are 38,000 young people between the ages of 11 and 19, and studies show that approximately 25,000 of these teens are not involved in a church or have a personal relationship with Jesus.
Reaching these young people with the love of Christ is at the very heart of everything we do.
We pursue this mission by:

REACHING out to every young person with the life-changing love of Jesus
WALKING alongside them through intentional discipleship and mentoring
SENDING them out to share that same love and hope with others

Through this approach, we aim to create a movement of young people who are not only impacted by Jesus but are also empowered to impact their peers, families, and communities for His kingdom.
