In a nut shell
Young Life (NYLC) is about encouraging and equipping young people to live out the Christian life and the teachings of the Bible. It is a non-denominational organisation working with young people all over the UK. Local Young Life groups meet on a regular basis for programs full of activities that are both fun and yet at the same time helpful in teaching young people how they can serve the Lord in the world today. Bible study programmes and talks, as well as fellowship are all part of the regular programme.
Special events are run on a regular basis where the young people can bring their friends along to hear the Gospel message simply explained.
Larger events are also organised where the various groups in a given region meet together. Popular events are the Area Weekend Aways and Speakouts.
History
In 1911, two unknown young men from Ireland started a movement that would be used by God to bring the gospel to thousands of young people and to bless many Christian works in the UK and abroad. Their names were Frederick and Arthur Wood, and the movement became known as the National Young Life Campaign, specialising in one aim: youth evangelism.
Doctrinal basis
Young Life has existed for 100 years and has changed much since its formation. However, we remain committed to upholding the truths of Scripture, reaching young people with the gospel and discipling Christian teenagers in their walk with the Lord.
The Young Life (NYLC) Doctrinal Basis covers what we believe and why we believe it.
Our people
Young Life is mostly run by people who freely give of their time in order to help lead and work in the individual branches in a voluntary capacity. However, we do also have a few people who work for Young Life on either a part-time or full-time basis. If you would like to find out more about the work of any of these people or subscribe to their individual prayer letters, please get in touch with us. All these people are supported by YL. Should you like to give towards their support, please get it touch with us at: office@younglife.org.uk
