A movement is beginning at AC Central, and you’re invited to be part of it!

We’re excited to announce that Youth Alive is launching a student outreach group right here in Ashland, IL at AC Central Schools—sponsored by Sara Roy and led by Faith Wells, a local student who is stepping up to make a difference in her generation.
This initiative is being launched under the guidance of Billy and Katy Willis, the founders of Youth Alive in Illinois. Billy and Katy are passionate missionaries who have been equipping and empowering students across the state to bring the light of Jesus to their schools—and now, they’re helping Faith do the same at AC Central.
📍 Where:
AC Central Schools, Ashland, IL
🙌 What Is Youth Alive?
Youth Alive is a student-led, campus-based movement to reach students with the Gospel. It helps students start Christian clubs, lead prayer and outreach, and be a consistent voice of hope in their schools.
With Billy and Katy Willis mentoring and equipping leaders like Faith Wells, Youth Alive is igniting spiritual momentum in public schools across Illinois—and now it's AC Central’s turn!
🌟 Why It Matters
Teens need hope, purpose, and truth more than ever—and God is raising up young leaders to share that hope with their peers. Faith is stepping forward with boldness, and with the support of her church, her mentors, and her community, we believe God is going to do something incredible through her obedience.
Let’s pray, support, and rally around what God is doing through Youth Alive at AC Central.

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”— 1 Timothy 4:12
