Young Life Capernaum

Young Life is all about relationships; ones that start with meeting teens with disabilities where they’re at, caring for them, and sharing the Christian faith in simple and understandable terms… all with no strings attached. Young Life wants to make sure that every teen involved in Young Life Capernaum knows they are invited, celebrated and needed.

• for the faith and calling of the adults volunteering as leaders
• for more caring adults to be compelled by Christ to invest in the lives of kids
• for our team of leaders to grow and reach out to more disinterested kids
