Talking About What Matters to You

What is life really all about? What direction is my life headed? At Campaigners, you can ask those kinds of questions (and more!) and talk with your friends and Young Life leaders. The name Campaigners comes from a term we've kept around since the 1940s when Young Life was called the "Young Life Campaign." The Campaigners group in your area may go by a different name, but the purpose is the same: taking on life's tough questions with a group of friends and leaders you can trust.


Who Inspires us?

"If you pay attention to the way Jesus was with people, it was his presence-how he was with people-that transformed them. It's the way he listened, shared food, spent time, wept, walked, touched, responded, and cared for people that give his words power. If the Christian faith is to offer any light to young people we have to move beyond words. We have to seek to share not only the teaching of Jesus, but more importantly the presence of Jesus."  -Mark Yaconelli

How we've adapted Campaigners for Capernaum

Capernaum caters to students of all abilities. Our main objective is to share the message that God loves us whoever we are!  We use clear visual and physical examples to share who God is and how he longs to walk alongside of us through our life's journey.
 
We do want to move beyond words; to make the things we talk about at Young Life club and our Game Nights real and relevant.  We spend time alongside our Capernaum friends. We are present for them in their continuing trek through the adventures of adolescence. We are hoping to start up small groups for students who'd like to meet in a more intimate setting to grow deeper in their spiritual experience. We'll let you know when they start up and how they're going!
 
***There's news! We have a ladies small group going! One Saturday a month a group of girls and I head out to breakfast together and to catch up on each others' lives. It's just getting going but it's been a blast so far. We'll keep ya posted. Peace, Tinica

What comes after Campaigners?

Young Life hopes to encourage students graduating from high school to plug into an area church to continue their journey learning more about who God is and how knowing him impacts our lives. Capernaum is no different! We are continuously looking to plug students into accessible programs offered by area churches. We will update the resources page as we find new ones.
