YOUTH MINISTRY
First Lutheran Church Kingsville is proud to partner with The Anchor Youth Centre, the Kingsville chapter of Youth Unlimited YFC — a Christian, non-denominational organization with over 80 years of history serving young people in more than 100 countries. Right here in Kingsville, that global mission has a local home.
WHY THE ANCHOR?
Kingsville teens are showing up week after week looking for somewhere to belong — a free, safe, and welcoming space where they feel supported. The Anchor exists to be exactly that.
Free or very low cost — always
All youth welcome, no matter your background or beliefs
Real relationships in a safe, structured environment
Led by Tim Dyck, a Kingsville local who knows this community
