There are 100,000 11-19 year-olds across Pierce County.
This generation of young people is battling suicide, depression, anxiety, and has a deep yearning for answers to the questions, “Who am I?”, “Why am I here?” and “Who can I trust?” The good news is, we have the solution – personal, life-transforming relationships and the good news of the love and grace of Jesus Christ.
