Youth Dynamics, OR

At Youth Dynamics, our mission is to invite and challenge youth to a lifelong adventure with Christ and His Church. To do this we run gospel-focused, adventure-based trips (white water rafting, rock climbing, backpacking, etc.) for groups of students. We use these trips to build relationships, share messages and analogies about who Christ is and what He's done for us, and challenge students beyond the realm of their normal day-to-day life . Being out in God's creation and pushed just beyond your comfort zone provides powerful opportunities for sharing, growth, and community building, and it's why we do what we do. Most of our trips happen in the summer, are anywhere between one and seven days long, and usually include multiple adventure activities. We build the trip around what works best for the group, and have everything to provide an impactful experience for today's youth. Jesus asked His disciples in the Great Commission to "go and make disciples" (Matt. 28:18-20), and since we believe that command is for us as well, our desire is to see youth transformed by the power of Christ, integrated into the local church, and impacting their world for Him.
