Lamar County Young Life

Young Life is a Christian Ministry that reaches kids in all 50 states and over 100 Countries around the world. For more than 35 years, this outreach ministry has been active in Lamar County. What started as a way to reach out to lost high school students has evolved into four thriving ministries - Young Life, WyldLife, YoungLives and Capernaum. With the help of dedicated volunteer leaders and unwavering community support, we strive to introduce young people to Jesus and guide them in their spiritual growth.
