God is at work in Austin, MN

For over 20 years, God has used Youth for Christ to impact the lives of students in our community. Through weekly gatherings, mentoring relationships, and special events, we see hearts transformed and lives redirected toward Christ. Whether it’s through a breakfast club, a summer camp, or a fishing night, our focus remains the same: to point students to Jesus.

Our Mission

YFC reaches young people everywhere, working together 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 prayer and the Word of God, passion for sharing the love of Christ and commitment to social involvement.
