Influence the Culture

Empowering the NOW Generation to influence the culture for Jesus.

YNG is a community for students (6th-12th grade) that meets weekly for a high energy service where they can connect with other teenagers just like them. With a team of leaders and mentors guiding them along the way, students are encouraged to not conform to the culture around them but influence it for Jesus!
YNG meets on Wednesday Nights from 7:00pm - 9:00pm at the Buda Campus.

From constant noise and busy schedules to social pressure and unhealthy habits, this series challenges students to recognize what’s competing for their attention and learn how to refocus their lives on what matters most. Through honest conversations, biblical truth, and practical steps, Do Not Disturb invites students to create space for God, hear His voice clearly, and grow in a deeper, more intentional relationship with Jesus.

Faithful or Foolish?

April 8-29th, 2026
Faithful or Foolish is an April youth series that challenges students to examine the choices they make every day and where those choices are leading them. In a world full of noise, pressure, and shortcuts, students are constantly deciding whether they’ll build their lives on God’s truth or temporary distractions. Through biblical wisdom, real-life scenarios, and honest conversations, this series will help students recognize the difference between living faithfully for Jesus and making foolish decisions—and empower them to choose a faith that lasts.
