About Us Mission Statement: To motivate young people to take action for Biblical principle!
The Young Christian Leaders' Alliance is a society of young people, with contacts currently extending to over 17 states, Canada, and Germany, existing to motivate members and those around us to take action for Biblical and constitutional principles. Our group was established by young people from three original families with a common belief in freedom under God, and a common desire to influence and bring reform in the American culture! We believe it is possible to truly accomplish victories in this effort. Our philosophy is that we will only reclaim nations through the claiming of individuals. Thus, our work must be to win over individual people who are not on our side, and to provide leadership and direction for individual people who are. It is apparent that those who are willing to get involved in such goals as bringing America back to conservative, constitutional government are often few and far between. The public education system has done an all-too-well-calculated job of creating a thought pattern in many around us in which one may be “concerned,” not with taking action to advance morality, justice, or liberty, but with “preserving the environment,” “stopping Global Warming,” and promoting socialist concepts. However, increasing numbers of young people are realizing the error of this thought pattern, and need answers and ideas! The vision behind the YCLA is, first of all, to bring together current, and budding, Christian constitutionalist young people. Especially for homeschoolers, a need exists for us to be able to work with each other and be useful. Moreover, it is our belief that a group which met that need would release a vast previously untapped force in the conservative movement. Imagine the things we could do! Our vision is, secondly, to reach out to others around us to win them to the Biblical worldview. We want to be “lights” not only in our homes and churches, but also in other likeminded groups, and especially in the public schools. We want to renew a belief in the idea of “Liberty In Law” (our slogan). Under the common banner of this concept, many well-meaning civil groups could begin to be brought together, instead of competing amongst themselves. Please join us in encouraging principle and inspiring Christ-like action!  Purpose
The Young Christian Leaders' Alliance exists to energize, educate, mobilize, and equip young people for service in all aspects of the culture, and especially in pro-freedom groups. The foremost way we strive for this objective is by encouraging the Biblical worldview and proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ. The YCLA also wishes to promote meaningfulness and activity, rather than aimless time-passing. We believe it is time to stand for GOD's Word as absolute Truth. Goals
1. To learn to exhibit leadership, ingenuity and a Christ-like attitude and character, advancing morale and courage in places where we may have influence. 2. To put into practice these qualities at frequent meetings, projects, and creative events, providing accountability and momentum towards Biblical objectives. 3. To produce and distribute materials relevant to the mission of the YCLA, especially to inform and evangelize young people outside our group. 4. To be guided as individuals by the direction of GOD, through prayer together, fasting, reading of His Word, and wise counsel. 5. To encourage the co-operation of pro-freedom organizations under the common banner of Liberty In Law and the Biblical Worldview.

R. Josiah Magnuson I'm 17 years old. :-) My favorite verses:
Isaiah 33:22 - For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us. John 8:31-32 - If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

| Our History
The concept of the Young Christian Leaders' Alliance was born in April of 2007 during a race in a special election for County Council in Greenville, South Carolina. R. Josiah Magnuson, the YCLA Executive Director and current President, realized the awesome potential of young people in campaigns, political or otherwise, and began thinking about attempting a constitutitionalist club under the banner of the Constitution Party. Later, the idea resurfaced. This time, it consisted of a much larger plan: a network of Biblically-oriented young people to catalyze a pro-freedom alliance. On July 7, 2007, Josiah made the decision to pursue the idea. On July 20, the YCLA held its' first meeting; and, on September 8, our first Constitution was signed. After several roadbumps in the first few months, we finally settled down to business with a number of important (and ongoing) endeavors: monthly tract-passing expeditions, prayer and encouragement for persecuted believers, and our newest project, distributing Answers Magazines! We now have contacts in over fifteen States, and a great many more people like you who visit our sites and follow our activities. But following what we do is not enough. We need you to get involved in it! Our group will then be a true success. With God's help and your support, we can continue to work to spread the Truth (John 14:6) in every part of the culture. Please pray for the YCLA, and donate and work as you can! 
| A theme passage: Psalms 37:1-9
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
