Our Focus

Introducing young people to Jesus at pivotal moments

We work 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 the Word of God and prayer, passion for sharing the love of Christ, and commitment to social involvement.

    WHAT TEENAGERS SAY!

    “YFC is my happy place if I’m being honest. When I come to YFC, I am with my family, they support and help to guide me through my life. I have gained confidence and social skills, and made many new friends... The leaders here are some of the most positive role models I have ever had in my life. They have definitely helped me through some of the toughest times of my life. I have grown to love everyone here, they will forever be my family.”

    Micaela Wright

    WHAT VOLUNTEERS SAY!

    “I decided to volunteer for Youth for Christ because I had recently moved back to the area and I was looking for ways to serve my community and Campus Life seemed like a really good fit because when I was in high school the organization meant a lot to me and it seemed like a really good way to give back.”

    Shawn Hoff, Superintendent for Preble County Educational Service Center

    WHAT COMMUNITY LEADERS SAY!

    “As an ESC we work with at risk youth and during these unprecedented times our youth need more positive support and encouragement more than ever before. Youth for Christ has the ability to come along side what we do in our schools to help shape our county and our country’s future. I would encourage anyone who’s able to get involved to sew into kids’ lives and love on them to please do so.”
