Notes:

South Bay Young Life has a strong history of youth ministry dating back to the 1970s. Our ministry teams are honored to continue a legacy of excellent outreach, discipleship, and cutting-edge and inclusive ministry by focusing on the basics: living as true disciples of Jesus. Our dream is that every kid in the South Bay has the opportunity to be invited into life with Jesus by a friend whom they know and trust. We want a teammate to help us ensure that kids of all abilities are included and are welcomed into a space where they belong in the body of Christ!
