AUBURN
The Need
9,000 kids are enrolled in the schools in which we have ministry.
Just
1,170 of them are connected to a local church.
Leaving
7,830 or 87% of our local kids unreached.
Young Life’s relational approach to sharing the Gospel is working to
reach these kids in a greater number every year.
Our Mission
Vision: Every adolescent (in Auburn) will have the
opportunity to meet Jesus Christ and follow him.
Mission: Introducing teenagers to Jesus Christ and
helping them grow in their faith.
Introducing teenagers to
Jesus Christ…
A three-pronged strategy,
hinging on relationships between
Young Life leaders and kids.
Contact Work: We’re out there in the world of
kids,
building real relationships.
Club: The Gospel presented in an attractive and
relevant way, with lost kids in mind.
Camp: Exceptional places, outrageous fun,
challenging adventure, amazing relationships, and
a crystal clear Gospel presentation delivered in a
place that allows kids to process.
…and helping them
grow in their faith
Campaigners: Sharing life together and applying the
Word of God to daily life.
Discipleship Camp: Encouraging high school kids
to take the next step in their faith.
Work Crew/Summer Staff: Discipleship through
service and an experience in Christian community.

in Auburn to learn the disciplines of being a follower

team, musicians, etc.) as decided in conversations between the student and the area staff and
team leaders.

Lead
Young Life Leaders are the Core of our Ministry with Kids
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 happen overnight — they
take time, patience, trust and consistency.
So Young Life leaders log many hours with kids — where they
are, as they are. We listen to their stories and learn what's
important to them because we genuinely care about their
joys, triumphs, heartaches and setbacks.
We believe in the power of presence. Kids' lives are
dramatically impacted when caring adults come alongside
them, sharing God's love with them. Because their Young Life
leader believes in them, they begin to see that their lives have
great worth, meaning and purpose.
This is the first step of a lifelong journey; the choices they make
today, based upon God's love for them, will impact future
decisions … careers chosen, marriages formed and families
raised. All ripples from the time when a Young Life leader
took time to reach out and enter their world.
Committee
The Young Life committee is the lifeline for Young Life in Auburn. The
committee is a group of local adults who care about kids and are committed
to Young Life's mission to introduce adolescents to Jesus Christ and help
them grow in their faith. Committee is also active in supporting the local
Young Life ministry by fundraising, securing administrative resources and
encouraging staff.
Our committee is made up of several sub committees. Committee might
be the right fit for you if any of the following service niches/teams are
of interest:
Spiritual Development
