Proclaiming with Joy...

You are made 4 LIFE!

Why should we be 4 Life?

Our God is the God of Life. In His Word, we learn that God loves all humans; in fact, He loved humankind so much that He sent His Son to die for all human life. This makes all human life important, valuable, and meaningful. Y4Life seeks to equip high school and college-aged youth to be Gospel-motivated voices 4 Life. Through service, celebration, worship, and education, youth are encouraged to engage in life-affirming activities and become Leaders4Life in their schools, communities, nation, and world!

Y4Life Leadership Training

Are you interested in starting student life ministry  your high school or college campus? Y4Life Teams (high school and college) receive ongoing mentorship, resources, and other support for students and faculty who are working to share the 4Life message with their campuses and communities.

Y4Life Apologetics Training

The Y4Life Apologetics Training takes youth through eight sessions that discuss theological truths and helps them apply those truths to life issues and arguments. Through modeling and practice, youth gain experience in how to uphold life using Gospel-motivated Biblical, logical, and philosophical approaches as well as how to have charitable conversations rather than participate in aggressive arguments.
