Life Youth Summer Camp Fundraiser
October 11 & 18, 2025

We’ve been given the largest fundraising opportunity Life Youth has ever had!

The Project:  Life Youth is partnering with The Woodson Development Group as they begin restoring the historic Webster building in St. Joseph. Our students will help with the cleanup phase (no demolition—just collecting and hauling out old school supplies and debris).

The Impact: This fundraising project will significantly lower the cost of camp for Life Youth students. Every hour our students serve goes directly toward making camp more accessible and affordable. By working together, we’re lightening the financial load for families and ensuring that more students are able to experience all that God has in store at Summer Camp.

How You Can Be Involved
Students: Sign up to serve on October 11 and/or October 18.
Parents: We’d love your help with supervision, transportation, hospitality (snacks, water, encouragement), and even an extra helping hand on the project. You can sign up too!

Sign up with the form below and we will follow up with details like what to wear, where to be, and when.

Wednesdays at Life Youth...

We are Life Youth.

Sometimes, it feels like the darkness is winning. Like the weight we carry is too heavy, like there’s no escape from the emptiness. It's the pressure to fit in. The stress to perform. That voice in your head saying, ‘You’re not good enough.’ We cover it up, hide behind our screens, bury ourselves in distractions… but deep down, we feel it. That ache, that loneliness.

“But Jesus. Jesus has something to say about all of it, "‘The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy; but I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

Jesus isn’t just offering survival. Just enough. He’s offering life overflowing—
Life that’s bigger than the pressure, louder than the lies, and stronger than the fear.
Life where you don’t have to pretend to be perfect, because you know you’re already loved.
A life filled with hope, forged in faith, and fueled by love.”

“This is the life Jesus wants for you.
And it’s time to remind ourselves—and each other—that we were made for more.

More than anxiety.
More than comparison.
More than just getting through the day.

We were made for life OVERRFLOWING.
And life is what we will do - not alone. but life together.

We are  Life Youth.

Let's find Life...together.
