Young Life and the Christian Spiritual Formation program have formed a partnership to develop emotionally and spiritually healthy leaders who have a solid foundation to serve with the mission of Young Life. Through this partnership, we invite students who have a heart to grow spiritually and pursue the lost. If you have any questions about this partnership, please contact Carissa Bowers by email at carissa_bowers@friends.edu or by phone at 316-295-5113.
