Long Creek Partnership

Long Creek Youth Development Center

The Rock Church partners with Long Creek Youth Development Center to bring mentorship, encouragement, and the hope of Jesus to the teens living there. Our heart is to walk alongside these young people during a challenging season of their lives and remind them that they are seen, valued, and loved.

Through regular visits our volunteers create consistent relationships that point the residents toward a better future. Our goal is that when these teens reintegrate into our local communities, they do so knowing that Jesus offers purpose, hope, and a fresh start and that they have a church family cheering them on.

If you’re passionate about investing in the next generation, building meaningful connections, and being a steady source of support, we’d love to help you get involved with this outreach team.
