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.

This Week at YNG
YNG Camp Nights
July 25th 29th, 2026
Join us for Camp Nights during YNG Summer Camp at 1235 S Loop 4, Buda! Camp Nights are open to the public and are designed for any student in 6th–12th grade who wasn't able to attend summer camp but still wants to experience what a camp night is like. Each evening from 8:30–9:30 PM, you'll experience powerful worship, an encouraging message, and all the energy of a YNG camp session. It's the perfect chance to see what summer camp is all about and invite a friend to join you!
Camp Nights take place every night of camp, and we'll wrap up the week with Invite Night on Wednesday evening.

Summer Camp
YNG Summer Camp at Twin Oaks
YNG Summer Camp is a week getaway happening July 25th-29th 2026 at Twin Oaks Ranch in Buda, Texas. It’s a weekend packed with powerful worship, age-specific and biblically grounded messages, engaging rec activities, and meaningful discussion groups. Your student will have the opportunity to deepen friendships and, most importantly, grow in their relationship with God.


Parents
New to YNG?
We understand that middle school and high school is such a critical time for your 6th through 12th grader to establish the foundation for their character and beliefs that will guide them for the rest of their life. It is an honor to partner with you to help impact the life of your youth through the greatest thing Jesus ever established, the local church. We would love to meet you and help your family find community through YNG and The Connection Church.

Upcoming Events
What's coming up
INVITE NIGHT
July 29th, 2026
Invite Night is the biggest night of the summer, and it's the perfect opportunity to bring everyone you know! Invite your friends, teammates, classmates, neighbors, and anyone else you can think of. We'll celebrate life change through baptisms, worship together, hear a powerful message, and end the night with a Dance Party. Wear all black to match the vibe and get ready for an unforgettable night full of giveaways. Our biggest hope is that every student would boldly invite someone who needs to experience the love of Jesus. Coming right after Summer Camp, we're believing students will take what God has done in their own lives and share it with others. .
