Young Life begins in the USA
In a town in Texas, at the request of his pastor, a young associate pastor named Jim Rayburn began showing young people how much God cares about them by showing up in their world and sharing the message of God's love through Jesus in ways and words they could understand and relate to.

Young Life begins in Dayton
Since the mid-1980s, Young Life has existed in our area. We have grown to include ministry at eleven high schools.
1500+ kids known by name
we meet kids where they are in life
Our staff and leaders go to dismissal, arrival, sports games, band concerts, and more, meeting kids and showing them that they have value and a purpose.
4 staff and 35+ volunteers
In Dayton, we have two full-time staff members, two part-time staff, and over 35 volunteers that are impacting kids lives. These leaders give hundreds of hours each week collectively in our area.
