We will celebrate trials of all kinds; from the various wagon trails, pathways, roads and highways, which have brought people and goods to the area for centuries, to the variety of modern trails which exist to bring us closer to our past. We even want to embrace more abstract “trails” which have been used over the years.

Our goal is to preserve and protect the history of Sturgis and Meade County. We cannot do this alone...this is done through memberships, sponsorships and donations. The Sturgis & Meade Country Historical Society is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, therefore sponsorships and donations are tax deductible.

Young Life began with a few simple ideas about sharing the truth of God’s love with adolescents. Those simple ideas have become time-tested methods for reaching out to middle school, high school and college students in friendship and hope. Our mission is to introduce adolescents to Jesus Christ and help them grow their faith.

We accomplish our mission to high students by ...

• Praying for young people.

• Going where kids are and building personal relationships with them.

• Earning the right to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

• Providing fun, adventurous, life-changing and skill-building experiences.

• Inviting kids to personally respond to the Good News and walking in friendship with them regardless of their response.

• Preparing kids for a life-long relationship with Christ and a love for His word, His mission and the local church.

• Working in community alongside like-minded adults (volunteer leaders, committee members, donors and staff).

We believe that life is found in Jesus and that every student deserves to know what life can hold for them.

From club and camp to Campaigners and other activities, teenagers will have a blast laughing, trying new things and being with their friends.
