Compel Youth

At Compel Youth, we welcome and love every student, from 6th to 12th grade. Our mission is to help them ENCOUNTER the life-changing power of God’s presence, EXALT His name in all things, and be EMPOWERED by His Spirit to live out their calling. Through this, students are EQUIPPED to do good works that not only impact their own lives but also build meaningful relationships with God’s people and align them with the purpose God has uniquely designed for them.

We believe that as students grow with us, they will be transformed and graduate from Compel Youth with a greater sense of confidence, clarity, and identity, ready to step into the next phase of their lives with boldness and purpose.
