The Dream Center Youth Department started back in 1997 with about 150 teenagers. Today there are about 900 youth and young adults at the services. There is a community center with sports leagues, teen homes, and a junior high and high school. Every Saturday, the youth from the inner cities come back to the Dream Center for a day of small groups, games, fun, food and then an explosive, inspiring service.
They are bussed in every week and bussed home. This is a huge, amazing blessing for hundreds of kids who would have had no other way to see life outside of their own experiences.
The Movement, a program designed to raise up the next generation of world changers, started out with 17 people graduating and now, only 4 years later, has about 200 young adults in the program striving to reach the local church, the nation and the world for God.
The ministries of the Dream Center, starting with Adopt-A-Block, have expanded to over 270 ministries and are still expanding. Just recently, a Family Floor was launched to help struggling families, as well as a floor for teenage mothers with nowhere to go. Also, in progress, is a shelter for victims of Human Trafficking.
