Young Patriots Club

Young Patriots Club We are a local ministry of Mount Olive Lutheran School's freedom-loving youth. And that's exactly what we do, from hearts of gratitude.

Our mission is to honor God and uplift American heroes while growing servant leaders. YPC recognizes we are citizens and patriots first of Heaven, devoted to our gracious and good God, Creator, and Redeemer. Next, we're citizens of this greatest land in the history of the world - the United States of America, blessed by God with countless heroes who have sacrificed deeply so we can live our faith

and our lives boldly. After eight years as a K-12 grade after-school community club, Mount Olive Lutheran School in Des Moines is now home to YPC. Mount Olive is passionate about growing children and youth to bless our community with love and gratitude. From fundraisers for a cause, to welcoming veterans home from an honor flight to singing for the American Red Cross volunteers, we're excited to bless those who bless us. Mount Olive's third grade teacher, Julie Dueker, is the founder and director of the club. Contact Julie to request YPC for your local event at [email protected].

We want to thank you all for your prayers, love, and support this year. It was an amazing year for YPC! Big missions, and through the power of our great God, they were accomplished! So many of YOU were part of it all!!! All challenge coins, and books have been funded, delivered, and our last deployed troops have been welcomed home. Our school, young patriots and their families were devoted to giving their best to thank so many of you who serve(d) our country and community. God is so good, and we are as thankful as ever that He invites us to be part of His story here in Des Moines!

Grateful for Bubba’s commitment to honor our veterans! If you’ve never been out to visit him on Memorial Day for the painting of the ashes, it’s well worth the trip to the original Freedom Rock he repaints annually.

Grateful for everyone who has supported the Freedom Rock® tour, shared stories, sponsored projects, and helped keep these tributes alive. Back at it again, see you this Memorial Weekend 🇺🇸

A few photos to capture this beautiful Iowa State Patrol's Peace Officer Memorial, and class tour of our amazing Iowa State Capitol. Living the good life - thank You, Lord!

To be surrounded by Iowa's law enforcement officers and those training to stand in harm's way for us is an overwhelming experience. To get to sing our gratitude for them at this year's Peace Officer Memorial was a joy and an honor. To do so with empty chairs where grieving loved ones of fallen officers often sit - so good. We thank God often and pray continued safety for all who wear the uniform for us!
