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

Unite Night

August 12th

Unite Night is a special night where we welcome our incoming 6th graders into YNG! This is an exciting milestone as students take their next step into our youth ministry and begin building friendships, growing in their faith, and getting connected to a community. Parents are invited to stay for the evening to hear from Pastor Rowdy about why staying plugged into the local church during the middle and high school years is so important. Whether you're a student or a parent, Unite Night is the perfect opportunity to meet our team, learn what YNG is all about, and start this new season together.

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.

Back to School

August 12th-26th, 2026
A new school year means new classes, new friends, new pressures, and a lot of new opportunities. Back to School is a message series designed to help students navigate the school year with their faith at the center.
Through this series, we’ll look at what it means to follow Jesus in the everyday moments of school life from friendships and pressure to identity, choices, and influence.
Students will be challenged to start the school year with a strong foundation and learn how their relationship with Jesus should shape the way they live, think, and interact with the people around them.

Unite Night

October 7th, 2026
Join us for a special Night of Worship at 7pm as we come together as a church family to worship Jesus, pray, and seek God together.
This will be a meaningful night for the whole family, with worship and a message designed to encourage and remind us of who God is and what He is doing in our lives.
Whether you come with your family, friends, or on your own, we’d love to have you with us. Come ready to worship, connect, and make space for God to move.
