One Collective
Many Stories
Chesterton Youth Collective is a space where 5th -12th-grade students come together to explore what it means to follow Jesus—regardless of church or faith background.
This is a safe place to bring your questions, find your people, and discover who God made you to be.
A place to belong
A place to grow
We meet at the Duneland Healthy Living Campus—a welcoming, central location that reflects the spirit of collaboration at the heart of CYC. We’re grateful for our strong partnership with Duneland YMCA and their commitment to supporting the next generation through safe, inclusive spaces. Whether it’s small groups, worship nights, or game-filled gatherings, it all happens here.
The Healthy Living Campus is just getting started and will continue to expand over the coming years—adding new resources and programs to support the continued well-being of the community.
We’re excited to be rooted in a place committed to long-term growth and transformation, offering students a space that’s growing with them.

Join the Collective.
We believe that when churches collaborate, students win. If you’re part of a church or faith-based organization that wants to walk alongside the next generation—without giving up your distinctives—we’d love to talk. The Collective isn’t about one way of doing ministry; it’s about creating a shared space where we can do more together than apart.
