What is klife?
KLIFE is a community-wide, interdenominational Christian ministry of discipleship and fellowship for youth and their families. Through a variety of activities (klubs, small group Bible studies, mission trips, and monthly events), KLIFE kids grow in their faith and have lots of fun in the process. They learn that following Christ and discovering His plan for their life is the most exciting adventure of all and that they can count on friendship and support from leaders and peers who care.
KLIFE works alongside churches and families in the community to teach and encourage kids to be strong in the Lord in spite of all the negative pressures they face as teenagers. KLIFE networks kids from different churches, and those without a church affiliation, to build positive, Godly relationships that can withstand the negative peer pressure so prevalent in today’s youth culture.
Philosophy of Ministry
GROW EXCITEMENT
KLUB / EVENTS
Our desire to provide a safe environment through gatherings, full of energy, laughter, and fellowship, where Biblical truth is heard, Godly community is experienced and relational equity with students is built as their excitement for the Gospel grows
ENGAGE HEARTS
SMALL GROUPS
Our Small Groups are the “heartbeat” of our ministry & comprised of same-gendered peers that gather on a weekly basis with a trained leader to study Scripture, encourage spiritual growth, promote accountability within the group and engage hearts to rely o
SHARE LIFE
1 THESSALONIANS 2:8
Our Small Group leaders are trained to pursue their students not only during small group time, but also seeking out intentional discipleship opportunities to meet students where they are at. This context is often necessary to address the deeper issues students are facing, as well as provide specific gospel centered truth, encouragement and guidance as they share life together
***all student / leader contact follows our SPP (Student Protection Plan) protocols to ensure appropriate boundaries that promote safe & healthy relationships
Unique House - Unique Location
One of the things that has always been unique to KLIFE is our house. That’s because our house sits directly across the street from the front door of the Highland Park High School. This proximity has made a huge difference in providing the contact, services, and relationships for students. We’re able to have small groups before and after school, with no inconvenience for the student. And since our sports activities are all on campus, we’re able to have many functions for the students before and after events.
The Board
The KLIFE Board is comprised of couples within the community looking to partner with KLIFE in its active pursuit of Christ. These couples serve to assist the ministry by faithfully praying, supporting, and assisting the ministry. Each board member is actively engaged in the ministry.
