Mission Yec

Help Make a Difference
 Want to do more than just hear about making a difference? Mission YEC is not just for our student's but is a way for everyone to get involved. Our students when they attend YEC will have the chance to help make a difference by putting meals together, packing them, loading them onto the container, and praying for the people that will receive these meals. YEC has partnered with Change this World and a Southern Baptist Missionary this year. All of us can help provide food for these meals by buy purchasing a T-shirt at: 


Each shirt bought will provide food and shipping for 50 meals. 

Promotion Sunday

Sunday July 31st

On July 31st during the Sunday School hour our children and student's will be promoting up to their new Sunday School class.

This is a fun and exciting time for your children, student's and teacher's.
