ROCKWALL COUNTY, TX (Nov. 14, 2026) Remember YoungLife in Rockwall?
For over 30 years, Rockwall YoungLife made a lasting impact on our community. Through camps, weekly gatherings, crazy games, lasting friendships, and—most importantly—countless students coming to know Jesus, YoungLife became an important part of the Rockwall community.
For many, those years hold special memories. For others, the impact is still being felt through the lives of students, families, and leaders who were part of the ministry.
Some of today’s parents, grandparents, and community members may have experienced YoungLife themselves or watched its impact on their children and friends.
Now, we’re excited to see that legacy continue. Rockwall YoungLife is officially making a comeback, but we can’t do it without you!
What is YoungLife?
YoungLife is about showing up in the lives of kids, building genuine friendships, having a whole lot of fun, and introducing them to Jesus Christ. It’s a place where middle school and high school students can belong, ask questions, grow in their faith, and experience the love of Christ through caring YoungLife Leaders. And yes, there is LOTS of fun along the way!

Where has Rockwall YoungLife been?
Like many things, YoungLife was signifi cantly impacted by COVID, and some wonderful years were lost for our kids and community. But the desire to have YoungLife fl ourish in Rockwall County has never gone away, and we’re excited to see that vision restored in 2026! A dedicated team is working hard to relaunch this ministry, and we’re excited about what God can do when our community comes together for the next generation.
But we need you!
How can you help?
Our goal is to build a strong foundation so YoungLife can thrive in Rockwall for years to come. To make that happen, we need to establish a passionate and driven committee who believe in investing in the next generation, who can recruit and train caring volunteer leaders, and raise the funds needed to hire staff and cover ministry operating expenses.
Our immediate goal: approximately 100 Friends of YoungLife
We need adults who care about kids and want to help relaunch this awesome ministry
You don’t have to be a youth leader to make a difference! There are so many ways to get involved:
Could God be calling you to be a part of this?
Think about the students in our community. Think about the difference it can make when a teenager knows someone cares, has a place to belong, and has the opportunity to hear about the hope and love of Jesus. Now imagine what could happen if 100 adults across Rockwall County came together to make that possible. That’s what we’re building. And we’d love for you to be a part of it.
TAKE THE NEXT STEP!
Get involved.
