Our Story

Jesus shared the Gospel through story, so we share and listen to stories—to every story

Since 1958, staff and volunteers have met with teens from area schools and neighborhoods in Hancock, Allen, and Putnam Counties. Through YFC, generations of teens have been impacted through loving Christ sharing relationships. We empower leaders to build authentic relationships with young people—to walk with them and be a friend that shares the message of hope that only comes through Jesus Christ. As teens say “Yes” to Jesus, our vision is to see them rooted in the Church and developing into the next generation of Christ sharing leaders.

Cassie's Story

Pivotal Moments

From starting at a new school to becoming a parent, from choosing a job or a college to moving for the first time or the 10th time, from experiencing loss or trauma to spending time in a juvenile institution —11-19 year olds face some of the most pivotal moments of their lives; moments that can shape their entire story.

Shaping Our Story

We know how a pivotal moment can shape a story, because we’ve been through them ourselves. We also know that young people experiencing pivotal moments often feel over-looked and under-served, walking through their story without someone in their corner.

Uncovering God’s Story of Hope

When we welcome God into a pivotal moment, we invite Him to uncover His story of Hope in our lives, and to give life to our story. He is the life in all of our stories
