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

Help, I'm a sinner!

May 20th, 2026

Help, I’m a Sinner starts this week, and you don’t want to miss it. We’re diving into the real, hard, and controversial topics students are facing every day—questions about identity, culture, sin, grace, and what God actually says about it all. No fake answers, no surface-level conversations, just honest truth and a place to ask real questions. Bring a friend and come ready for a series that could change everything. Doors open at 7pm.

What's coming up

Help, I'm a sinner!

May 13-20th, 2026
Help, I’m a Sinner is a bold, honest series created to tackle the hard and controversial topics students are facing every day. In a world full of confusion, pressure, and competing voices, this series will dive into real conversations about sin, grace, truth, identity, temptation, and what God’s Word says about the issues culture often gets wrong. This isn’t about shame or condemnation—it’s about finding hope, freedom, and the life-changing truth of Jesus. No filters, no easy answers, just real talk about real struggles and a real Savior.
