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.
Jeff Randell, Executive Director of Platte Valley YFC
"A Commitment to Truth"
Our YFC chapter will always stay committed to the faithful teaching of God's word to help students learn truth in a chaotic world.

"Redeeming the Past"
I could have been one of my detention center girls at that age. I don't want them to wait until they are 40 before they know the true love of Jesus Christ.
