Our targetJanuary 2027First YoungLives Paducah club

YoungLives Paducah builds intentional relationships with pregnant and parenting teenage mothers through consistent friendship, practical support, joyful community, and the hope of Jesus.

“We don't begin with a program. We begin with a relationship.”

We go where young mothers are.

We show up consistently, share life, build genuine trust, and create belonging. From that relationship comes the opportunity to share why we are there: the love, hope, and Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Churches & community partners

Paducah can surround young mothers together.

YoungLives helps churches intentionally love a population that can fall between traditional ministry structures.

  • Give monthly or sponsor camp
  • Provide meals, childcare, prayer, space, or resources
  • Invite the team to speak
  • Introduce us to people who should know the ministry
