Welcome to a grand adventure-an exciting and surprising and life changing journey, in partnership with GOD.

The Landing is a unique experience in at least a couple of ways.

​

First, it's structured as a 52-week program based on the Beatitudes where Jesus laid out principles for happiness in the sermon on the mount-for teenagers who are struggling to live their lives in a healthy, God honoring way. Maybe they come from a dysfunctional home or have faced crises in their life. Maybe they simply need help developing patterns of wise choices, or they wrestle with an addiction of some kind. Whatever their story, they know they need something more than a typical Sunday school class or youth group meeting. Or maybe they don't know this, but the people who love them do. The Landing is a safe place where teenagers can live a freer, healthier, and more God centered life.

​

Second, The Landing is not a lecture-style resource. It's designed to get teenagers talking about and exploring new ways of thinking and doing. They won't just be listening to someone speak-instead, they'll be talking to each other and to their leaders in a fully engaging environment that includes simple experiences that will help them "own" what they're learning. In most classes or small group studies, the leader controls pretty much everything about the direction of the lessons., and the teens just follow along. With The Landing, the leader provides strong leadership and overarching direction, and encourages the students to participate and engage in the discussion. This style of teaching helps everyone feel the satisfaction of playing a key role in the journey.

​

We believe that true transformation comes when you get closer to Jesus.

​

The aim of The Landing is to help hurting teenagers get closer to Jesus as they learn key principles during a journey toward a better life-to move their focus on Jesus from the fringes of daily life to the bull's eye of everyday life.

​

Finally, we want to remind you that you are about to partner with God to change the life trajectory of the people who participate in The Landing. This really will happen. People will get closer to Jesus, and they will learn about their hurts, hang-ups, and habits that have derailed them. And many of them will be positively changed by this experienced forever. Thanks for having the courage and determination to be part of the nuclear moments that are about to take place. Along with the participants in the study, you'll not only end up worshiping Jesus at a deeper level, you'll also begin to show others a positive pathway to freedom in their lives.
