Canon Mac Campus Life

Campus Life has helped youth in our community develop character, find belonging, discover purpose and direction and find stability, all within a group of uplifting peers lead by trained leaders who live and teach the love of God. And though we have found immense success, there is still much more work to be done to create a better community for your kids.

As a parent or grandparent, you know how difficult our world is for our youth today. Statistics show that mental health issues such as anxiety and depression are higher than any point in the history of our country and are only on the rise. Young individuals are struggling to fulfill everyday tasks as they are being weighed down by these internal issues haunting their minds daily and distracting them from growing and taking the correct steps for successful adulthood. Isolation is a big factor that forms in these situations since these kids feel as if they are alone in their struggles. But they must know they are not alone.

Our ministry has been successfully helping youth in our community by giving them positive friend groups of up-lifting peers and trained leaders. It has been a true joy to see the transformation in the lives of hurting youth as we see them go from places of sorrow to happiness. Our ministry draws young individuals out of isolation and helps them heal from the harms of their everyday issues. Youth are completely transformed and enlightened by the discovery of their purpose and direction in life.

Jesus is a divine healer, and he has given his followers the task to heal the broken by teaching about His love. The groups that we run are prominent pockets of light in our community that offer kids friendship, healing, and purpose all through the Love of Christ!

We offer ministry groups for middle school and high school students. Each group provides youth with weekly impactful meetings as well as seasonal trips and events throughout the year.

We have experienced immense success at introducing kids to Christ and helping them grow in their faith.
