ECYD facilitates deep and impactful encounters with Christ for 5th-12th grade girls, accompany these young women, their families, and form on-fire apostles ready to transform society with the Lord’s life-changing love. We offer one-on-one accompaniment, small groups, retreats, missions, camps, and pilgrimages—all to help girls live and thrive in their relationship with God and their God-given mission.
