Christian Life Launch
We exist to equip and empower young adults to impact their world with ongoing growth in passion for Jesus and Spirit-empowered living.
Life Launch is 17 weeks of discipleship, leadership, and life experience for young adults –it will deepen your faith, challenge your mind, and equip you for godly living in all aspects of life. Life Launch is geared towards PLBC’s mission of supporting the church by equipping men and women for spirit-empowered ministry; and we believe that nothing can stop a generation of leaders who are passionate about the mission of Jesus, understand hearing God, and are equipped to live wholly devoted to Jesus and empowered by the Holy Spirit!
Gap Year, on purpose!
Life Launch is designed for young adults who have a growing passion for Jesus, His church, and mission. The main requirement is willingness to grow in Your relationship with Jesus and Spirit-empowered living… all while enjoying time together in worship, study, work, and play!
The missions trip at the end of LifeLaunch blew the doors off my view of the world and changed me deeply. My time at PLBC is one of the most influential and formative chapters of my life, and I continue to see its impact year after year.

Who
Missions Trip
Each year our Life Launch students apply what they’ve learned by going on an extending missions experience. Last year the team served in Scotland.
The 2023/24 Missions team is back and their experience was filled with Spirit empowered ministry. The team was afforded the chance to go into 2 maximum security prisons and 1 reintegration center for a total of 5 visits. They led worship, shared about God’s forgiveness and grace, and talked and prayed with inmates on several occasions. They got to roast coffee beans with a local re-integration ministry @glesgaroasters and led a Sunday Service and a couple of prayer nights and youth services. They finished their time in London at #LC24 Alpha Leadership Conference where they volunteered on the prayer team. Some of the speakers included Nicky and Pippa Gumbel (founders of Alpha), Lecrae, and Danielle Strickland to name a few. It was a life changing experience to say the least. Join us in giving glory to God for equipping and sending them safely and God being glorified.
