Hey! So Glad You're Here.

My name is Jake Bajema and I am the Area Director of Kentwood Young Life. I started as a volunteer leader in Young Life in 2016. In 2019, after several years of working in sales, I decided to pursue a call to ministry and joined Young Life staff full-time, and in 2022, I became the Area Director in Kentwood. My wife and I live in the Kentwood area with our two daughters, and we are so proud to be a part of this diverse and vibrant community! We hope that this site gives you a small taste of the many ways the Lord is working in this ministry and through the students of Kentwood.
