Our Focus
Introducing young people to Jesus at pivotal moments
YFC 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.

"This is our pivotal moment to serve the church"
This is our pivotal moment to serve the church by creatively re-imagining youth ministry yet again. I believe the cultural conditions are right for us to experience the greatest youth revival our generation has ever seen. God has given us the right team to do this—and His hand is clearly on our mission.
Michael Anderson, executive director of YFC El Paso
"The goal is change their life trajectory"
The goal is to change the life trajectory, both for the students as well as the parents and the local volunteers… It’s truly amazing to see God work in the lives of everyone involved in this incredible movement. Although we are focused on the kids, before long we realize God is changing our lives as well.

"I didn’t know where God would use the story He has given me"
I always just kind of knew that was my story, but I didn’t know where God would use the story He has given me. Seeing in real life, the stories of the young people, showed me clearly that I was supposed to be involved to bring life to my story as well as to their story.

Building Authentic Relationships
Featured Story
Building Authentic Relationships
For YFC, the fragmented school year failed to slow down its mission of connecting with local young people. YFC was active throughout the summer, holding movie nights, summer camps, and other youth events. These events, while great for having fun and meeting local youth, have a more eternal purpose. Each creating doorways for an authentic Christ-sharing relationship.
Our Response to Covid
Socially distant, spiritually together.
There's no way around it, the ongoing pandemic has continued to shift ministry and serving the next generation in a variety of ways. Throughout this time we have continued to push God's kingdom further in creative ways. From virtual group meetings to outdoor events, we are committed to ministering to young people safely and intentionally.
