Welcome to TLCYTH.

TLCYTH is a great way for students in grades 6–12 to connect with each other and explore all kinds of deep questions about life. We're all about creating a safe, inclusive, and fun environment where students can thrive, grow in their faith, and make a real impact on the world. Most importantly, we want students to know that Jesus sees them and loves them deeply.

When do we meet?

Throughout the fall, TLCxYTH will meet on Wednesday nights at 6:30 p.m. We’re grateful for the hospitality and partnership of our friends at Evergreen United Methodist Church, who are allowing us to use their space for TLCxYTH events this fall.

What To Expect

We know joining a new group for the first time can feel awkward. But once you’re there, it’ll feel like you’ve always been a part of it. We will hang out, play games, and hear a message just for students. We'll talk, discuss, pray, and learn more about each other and God. This isn’t just for The Local Church. It’s for EVERYONE. Invite your friends!

Our Philosophy

At TLCxYTH, we “think orange,” which means we believe that church (yellow) and family (red) can be two of the biggest influences in a student's walk with Jesus. By bringing the two together, we create community around a timeless message that mobilizes the next generation to love God and serve others.
