Mission:
Youth For Christ is a movement that reaches young people everywhere with the hope of Christ. 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.
Serving Our Community:
Youth For Christ’s Community Ministries consist of City Life and City Life Wheels, Parent Life, and Juvenile Justice Ministry. These programs specifically focus on the underserved urban neighborhoods of Central Indiana, supporting young people through comprehensive programming encompassing financial literacy, civic engagement, education success, basic health and safety, and spiritual and moral literacy within a relational context.
Campus Life leaders build relationships with young people to introduce them to Christ. We seek to cultivate great moments of connection and community for young people. Through a holistic approach, Campus Life helps students as they wrestle with critical issues. Leaders help young people realize a Christ-centered life that provides balance mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially.
