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

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. Please let us know you’re interested in YNG by sharing a little about your family at the link below.

What's coming up

Commitment Issues

February 25th, 2026
Commitment isn’t just a relationship problem, it’s a life problem. From faith and friendships to habits, purpose, and calling, many students struggle to stay all in when things get hard, uncomfortable, or inconvenient.
That’s why we’re kicking off Commitment Issues, a new YNG youth series designed to challenge students to move past halfway faith and step into a fully committed life with Jesus. Through honest conversations, biblical truth, and practical application, students will discover why commitment matters, what holds them back, and how choosing consistency over comfort can change everything.

Parenting Playbook

March 6th , 2026
Join us for a special evening led by Pastor Rowdy and Pastor Landry designed for parents of kids and teenagers. This night will provide practical guidance, biblical encouragement, and helpful tools to support you in raising the next generation. Connect with other parents, gain fresh insight, and feel equipped for the journey ahead. We’d love to see you there!
