Young Life Tyler

Young Life is a relationship-centered ministry where we introduce teenagers to Jesus Christ and help them grow in their faith! Our staff and volunteers enter the world of kids, focusing on what matters to them - fun, adventure, friendship, and a sense of significance. In doing so, we earn the privilege of talking to them about something we believe matters most of all - the truth about God and His love for them.
