FALL WAREHOUSE RECAP!

The Warehouse Project is a 10 week discipleship intensive for students transitioning from middle to high school. Each week, they show up ready to work out and get in God’s Word!

We’re so proud of our girls who didn’t miss a single week of Warehouse! 💪
They came ready to grow in faith and learn to partner their emotions with the Lord!

Thank you to our donors who make all this possible!

This past Friday marked Layne’s official last day on staff with Youth Works at CLDI.

⛰️Though the team is bummed to see Layne go, we are excited for the adventures that are ahead of him!

⛰️Layne played a vital role in how the team approaches much of what we do, the partnerships we have, and setting a strong example in caring for the kids we engage with. His impact goes beyond the immediate tasks at hand, influencing how the team interacts with others and encouraging a deeper level of care for the youth we serve.

⛰️Layne, thank you for your heart to serve, desire to grow, and your ability to see potential in people & students that they may not see in themselves. You will be missed and we wish you all the best in your future adventures!

🍔Senior Lunch!

⭐️Every Monday, Youth Works partners with Trinity Lutheran Church and Billings Young Life to provide lunch for the students at Senior High School.

⭐️We share a Jesus story, serve them lunch, and have good conversation. We tend to see 50-75 students there each week! It’s a great opportunity for us to partner with other ministries & to build relationships with high school students!
