Young Life Lafayette

Mission Statement: Introducing adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith. 

All funds raised through SOLA Giving Day go directly toward our work with kids in our community, this year with a special focus on our newest ministry, WyldLife for students at Holy Family Catholic School.

We have a $1,500 matching gift to help us reach out goal!

Who We Are: Young Life is an ecumenical Christian ministry that reaches out to middle school, high school, and college students in all 50 of the United States and in more than 100 countries around the world.

Young Life doesn't start with a program. It starts with adults who are concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf and in their culture, building bridges of authentic friendship. These relationships don't just happen overnight - they take time, patience, trust and consistency.

We Accomplish Our Mission By:

• Praying for young people.
• Going where kids are and building personal relationships with them.
• Earning the right to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
• Providing fun, adventurous, life-changing and skill-building experiences.
• Inviting kids to personally respond to the Good News and walking in friendship with them regardless of their response.
• Working in community alongside like-minded adults from a variety of Christian traditions (volunteer leaders, committee members, donors and staff).

Current Ministries:

• WyldLife for students at Holy Family Catholic School
