God is already at work—in De Soto, across Kansas City and beyond—in everyday spaces where we live, work, and play.
Our calling is simple: join Him and help you do the same.
DYM’s 30+ year history has been full of helping people discover their unique role in God’s mission.
What started as DeSoto Youth Ministries has grown into a movement of everyday followers of all ages living out the Good News—in homes, workplaces, coffee shops, college campuses, around bonfires, jails, alongside homeless, at rodeo arenas, in parks or sporting events, and even on pickleball courts.
We’re about people—walking with God, loving our neighbors, and discovering mission in the ordinary rhythms of life.

Mission isn’t complicated. It’s everyday life.

Orgs & Groups
From community workshops, ministry events to family celebrations, our building is a flexible space designed to serve your purpose.
Your mission is wherever your feet take you.
Whether you’re a young adult longing for purpose, a neighbor seeking community, or someone simply curious about faith, mission begins where you already are. We’d love to sit down, share a coffee, and help you discover what God might be calling you into.
