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.
