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 others just like them. With a team of leaders and mentors guiding them along the way, students are encouraged to not just conform to the culture around them but influence it for Jesus!
YNG meets on Wednesday Nights from 7:00pm - 8:30pm at the Buda Campus.

This Week: What would Jesus Say To...

April 9th , 2025

 "What Would Jesus Say To...", Where we are exploring the intersection of faith, culture, and influence in 2025. With influencers shaping the conversations around music, social media, and everything in between, we’re diving deep into  what Jesus would say to them—and to us. It’s a thought-provoking series designed to challenge perspectives and inspire reflection on how faith speaks into the influence of today’s culture. 

Summer Camp

YNG Summer Camp at Twin Oaks

Twin Oaks is the perfect place for students to get out of their summer routines and have an adventure that will change their lives forever. At YNG Summer '25, your camper is our number one priority.  From meals to lodging, making friends to having fun, we have thought through every detail to make their time at camp the best that it can be. And as a parent, you can be confident that we will take care of your child with love and excellence.

Sore
Subject

May 14th-21st, 2025
In our series "Sore Subject"  Pastor Rowdy Lind is diving  into the conversations many shy away from in today's society. From the complexities of dopamine and its impact on our daily lives to the realities of anxiety, mental health, and sexuality, we’re here to tackle the uncomfortable, the challenging, and the often avoided. Our goal is to foster open, honest, and respectful dialogue about the topics that shape who we are but are rarely discussed. Let’s break the silence and confront these “Sore Subjects” together.
