Youth Dynamics offers several programs for young adults and teens to get involved in ministry and build a stronger relationship with Jesus. Check out how to get involved below!
Adventure Bible School
Stonewater Adventure Bible School will disciple, equip, and empower adults 18 and older by providing a safe, engaging, and adventure-centric learning environment for discovery, leadership, and faith. Stonewater is the ideal location for this 5-week course integrating technical outdoor skills, bible teaching, worship, community, and wilderness adventure. The course is offered twice a year (fall and spring) and aims to increase personal faith, Biblical knowledge and application, self-discovery, personal responsibility, teamwork, and one’s leadership potential.
Life and Leadership Training
This 6-week internship is an opportunity for juniors and seniors in highschool, to work closely with stateside missionaries who use wilderness adventures to share the love of Christ. Students will experience discipleship, adventure, challenge, and leadership. The program runs from July to August each year and students may experience Inflatable Kayaking, Whitewater Rafting, Rock Climbing, Horseback Riding, Backpacking, Hiking, Challenge Course, and Mountaineering. (Note that experiences vary depending on adventure base location.) This is a highly relational and discipleship-based program, emphasizing individual and group exploration of culturally relevant topics and present experiences.
Internships
If you are unsure if a permanent ministry position is for you or if you are looking for a short-term missionary experience, an internship through Youth Dynamics might just be the opportunity for you.
Youth Dynamics offers a 12-month internship, either in a community or at an adventure base, that allows you to learn and minister alongside seasoned staff. This is a ministry experience internship that will focus on your faith journey and leadership development.
Horsemanship
Horses are a unique ministry partner. Our certified wranglers desire to connect our horses with students, allowing relationships to develop, which provides an avenue for sharing the Gospel. Through exploring local trails, students are challenged in their horsemanship skills while immersing themselves in the beauty of the Cascades. Our Horse ministry allows various experiences, including overnight camping trips, year-round Bible study, and horsemanship courses.
