Vision, Mission, & Values

-----------------------------------------

Our Vision
As part of the body of Christ, our vision is to see every young person in every people group in every nation have the opportunity to make an informed decision to be a follower of Jesus Christ and become a part of a local church.

Our Mission
YFC reaches young people everywhere, working together with the local church and other likeminded 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.

Our Core Values

Evangelism and Discipleship
We are committed to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all young people and always seek to do so with urgency, using the most culturally acceptable presentations. We are further committed to provide a ministry of discipleship for each new believer, and to work in partnership with others who desire to accomplish the same mission.

Scripture
We are committed to the Word of God as the foundation and final authority for life and ministry. We discipline ourselves to study it diligently, apply it daily, and teach its truth to young people.

Prayer and Fasting
We are committed to pray and fast for the salvation of lost young people and for the empowerment of God's Holy Spirit in taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to them.

Church
Believing that the Church is the expression of the body of Christ, we are committed to work in partnership with the local church in fulfilling the Great Commission.

People
We are committed to people. We believe that young people, volunteers, board members, ministry partners, staff and their families are important first as individuals, and all are vital in the fulfillment of our mission.

Mobilization
Knowing the size and urgency of our task, we are committed to mobilize all the available resources of young people, adults, prayer and finance to accomplish our mission.

Integrity
We are committed to a life of integrity through personal and organizational accountability in lifestyle, relationships, finances, ministry management and responsible evangelism.
