Partner Churches

Freedom for Youth Ministries’, as a part of the one body of Christ, primary role is to provide opportunities for members of the church to serve our homeless and at-risk youth in Des Moines.

  1. Introduce Freedom for Youth Ministries to its congregation and give people the opportunity to volunteer as they are called.
  2. Support Freedom for Youth Ministries financially through its mission budget.
  3. Regularly pray for the ministry.
