We bring lasting hope to urban teens one relationship at a time through outreach, fellowship, mentoring, and discipleship.
Every Thursday we have Klub. Our “Klub” is a time where kids come together from multiple high schools in our city for an evening of games, sports, fun, food, skits, fellowship, music, prayer, speakers, and a challenging message to their hearts. Everyone is welcome, but we especially focus upon the urban teens of St. Louis. This is a fun evening and is a great way for us to allow kids an introduction into what K-Life is all about.
Tuesdays is reserved for small groups. Small groups are the heart of K-Life. They are a place where relationships can be fostered and truth can be taught. A small group consists of anywhere from 3-10 kids of the same gender and age. These groups are the time for kids to get involved deeply with a leader where they can ask questions and grow in God's Word.
Throughout the week we do one on ones. 1 on 1’s are deep mentoring relationships that develop between a K-Life Leader and a young person. Through parent involvement and approval, this mentor pours deeply into the life of that young person and is the place where we often see a dramatic impact and true influence that transforms a young person’s life forever.
UKL employs a strategy that results in junior and senior high teens who are actively involved in small groups, where values can be established, and truth can be taught. Through these relationships, UKL staff and volunteers leverage their impact and watch young people find security and direction to propel them for the rest of their lives. Our time proven, successful model of impact is based on “Life on Life” relationship investment that far exceeds typical mentoring or program-based initiatives. It involves thousands of hours of involvement in the life of a student that extends well beyond school hours or basic after school programs. It includes nights, weekends, out of town trips, and personal involvement in the families of the students we serve. This lasting impact is far-reaching, and impacts both this life and well into eternity.
