YL Knoxville

“Our young people today are waiting for somebody to care about them enough to take the time and the trouble to pour out compassion on them, to prove their friendship, to bridge this tragic and terrible gap that exists in our culture between teenagers and adults…Young Life is an outgrowth of the conviction that Jesus Christ is everything that kids want most - the most wonderful, the most attractive, the strongest, most gracious, loving person the world has ever seen.” -Jim Rayburn, Young Life Founder

	Young Life Clubs? - Action Packed and Fast Moving
	The Club is a weekly event providing a comfortable setting that helps create a willingness to listen. Singing, fun, planned activities and a talk about Jesus Christ are all part of a Club. That was for your parents; it is actually a kickin' good time for you and all your friends. You can't be disappointed!
	Young Life Campaigners? - Growing In The Christian Life
	We want to see those teenagers who have begun a personal relationship with Christ grow in their Christian lifestyle. We provide small groups for the study of the Bible and discussion about what it means to live out your faith day to day. Our goal is to start them on the road to Christian maturity and to encourage their involvement in a local church body.
	Young Life Contact Work? - Taking Time For Kids
	Our mission in Young Life is to introduce adolescents to Jesus Christ and to help them grow in their faith. YL Leaders take time to build life-long friendships with kids. YL Leaders take time to help these young friends hear and understand the truth about Jesus Christ. YL Leaders help kids take time to make a personal decision regarding this most important person. Whatever a young person decides about Jesus Christ, the friendship with the Young Life Leader remains intact.
	Young Life Camps? - The best week of my life!
	The camping program is a very strategic part of Young Life. It is a combination of adventure, the presentation of the Gospel and the living out of the Christian faith in individual lives. It provides the opportunity for teenagers to be removed from their normal routines and to hear and understand the need for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
