Every Springfield student deserves somewhere to belong!
Thanks to the support of Christ Presbyterian Church, Young Life Springfield is making a positive impact in the lives of hundreds of high school students in our city—creating a community where young people feel seen and valued. At its core, Young Life’s mission is to introduce teens to Jesus and help them grow in their faith. We do this by (1) loving students like Jesus would love them, (2) praying for students, (3) going where students are and building authentic relationships with them, (4) sharing our stories with students, (5) giving students opportunities to share their stories with us, and (6) providing fun, adventurous, life-changing experiences.
We could simply tell students that we want to share about God with them because “we know best.” But the amazing thing is that our students are actually the ones revealing to us more about who God is and what He is actively doing in Springfield. So Young Life is also about listening—so we can hear where God is moving and follow Him together.
Through weekly and monthly gatherings, teens encounter caring adult mentors and leaders who intentionally build relationships with them, regardless of their background or circumstances. These consistent, supportive relationships help students navigate the complexities of life with faith and purpose.
