Equipping urban youth leaders and parents to see every youth mature in faith and flourish in adulthood
Grounded in Scripture • Partnering with Parents • Preparing Youth for Life
We are a community of urban youth leaders and parents united around one vision:
To see every youth mature in faith and flourish in adulthood
An open letter to leaders
discipling youth in the city
Discipling youth in the city is hard.
Urban youth are overscheduled
Navigating identity, pressure, and competing voices every day.
Parents are stretched thin
Many drop their teens off at youth group hoping spiritual maturity will happen on its own.
Most curriculum wasn't written for urban youth.
It’s almost no surprise 2 in 3 teens who grow up in church stop attending after high school. (Lifeway Research, 2025)
That's not just a statistic. That's our youth, and it breaks our heart
Something has to change.
That's why YDC exists.
We equip urban youth leaders and parents so students mature in faith, are equipped for adulthood, and build a lifelong relationship with Jesus.
