YOUTH FOR CHRIST USA INC

Campus Life reaches out to students in the Linn County area schools. This ministry combines healthy relationships with creative programs to help young people make good choices, establish a solid foundation for life, and positively impact their schools. Like every ministry of YFC, Campus Life seeks to engage young people wherever they are found as lifelong followers of Jesus Christ. Campus Life encourages a balanced life—mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially.



Campus Life focuses heavily upon relational evangelism. We teach and model "3Story." 3Story is a way of life that guides followers of Christ to BE good news while telling stories of THE good news. It is natural, friendly, and freeing - as you abide in Christ, His love flows through you to others as you journey together.

The purpose of this program is to contact students by providing breakfast one morning each week. The presence of free food attracts teenagers by the dozens which provides an opportunity for staff and volunteers to meet and start the process of getting to know them. From there, many students are invited to a Campus Life, a mentoring relationship, or YFC Camp. We have seen so much fruit from the program at Kennedy, that we expanded into Linn-Mar in 2013 and Jefferson in 2014

Economis is a financial literacy program designed to mimic real world scenarios without real world consequences. Youth earn credits through things like program participation and community service projects and can spend them on items at the club store (e.g. snacks, t-shirts, camp scholarships, etc.)

Camp is a unique environment that invites God to transform the lives of young people through shared experiences, outdoor challenges, and times of solitude. These experiences draw students to the heart of God within the context of authentic relationships and memorable learning experiences.
