Our Focus
Introducing young people to Jesus at pivotal moments
Youth for Christ is a ministry that actively pursues 11-19-year-olds who are walking through pivotal moments in their lives. A pivotal moment could be anything from navigating a new school, dealing with a family breakup, becoming a teen parent, to spending time in juvenile detention. Much of our ministry is to at-risk teens. These young people often feel overlooked, and it’s our passion to make them feel seen, heard, and valued. YFC is a place that sees, hears, and celebrates young people for who they are. We get to know a kid’s story, and as we do, we share our life and story with the ultimate goal of connecting them to God’s story.
Our Mission
YFC reaches young people everywhere, working together with the local church and other like-minded partners to raise up lifelong followers of Jesus who lead by their godliness in lifestyle, devotion to prayer and the Word of God, passion for sharing the love of Christ, and commitment to social involvement.

Give Life To Your Story
3STORY®
A way of life that guides followers of Jesus to be good news as they share The Good News. 3Story® is the phrase we use to describe how we live in relationship with God and others. We use three circles to represent these stories—God’s Story, my own story and the stories of young people. When the circles overlap, it means friendship is growing, trust is building, transformation is happening.
3Story® helps people who love Jesus stay tightly connected to Him so they might become good news as they talk about the Good News of God’s love. It’s a lifestyle we pursue. We want to be people who love like Jesus loves us, who serve as Jesus serves and who are consistently drawing near to God for the sake of young people.
We pursue 11-19 year olds who are walking through pivotal, story shaping moments; like navigating a new school, becoming a teen parent, spending time in a juvenile institution or simply enduring the culture of social media. Young people often feel marginalized. As we live 3Story® lives, we represent Jesus who is steady and trustworthy so that young people feel seen, heard and valued.
