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.
Serving Tulare & Kings Counties since 1968!
Our pursuit: relational ministry rooted in Christ’s truth. His truth about community, empathy, and kingdom-inspired diversity guides our work and shapes our communities.

"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.
Campus Life Student Testimony
"My Life was Changed"
“Campus Life has changed my life. I was lost and lonely. I felt unloved. No one cared! My mentors introduced me to Jesus, gave me hope and love, and now I know I have a future!”
Kelly Fox, Farmer / TKYFC Board Chair

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, lake trips, 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.
YFC USA & YFC International
A national & global movement to uncover God's Story in the next generation
As a ministry of YFC USA, we are dedicated to acting as a local extension of the work being done nationally. We actively work to create engaging experiences for youth in our area. Because it is our vision to reach teenagers EVERYWHERE, we also actively partner with our Youth For Christ Chapter of New York City in the Gowanus Neighborhood of Brooklyn. With the direction of the Executive Director, Daniel Sanabria thousands of teenagers are being reached with the Gospel. And we also partner and support our YFC Juarez ministry under the direction of Jose Gutierrez whose team is sharing the Gospel with focused ministry in Juarez. Join us in prayer and support of these vital ministries.
