Youth For Christ

Reaching young people in Omaha

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.

Over 70 Years and counting Serving Greater Omaha

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.

    Matt Benes, Burke campus life

    "Adults who empower"

    I love coming to small group and having discussions with the students about faith and life. I think it is great for these kids to have adults other than their parents to talk to and see examples of what true faith looks like!

    Andyn Gay, Camp Small Group Leader

    "Seeing God Move"

    "I saw God move in more ways than I even knew possible. I saw kids who didn't know each other or God come together to work and pray for one another time and time again. I saw God move through children who have never went to church before and fill them with questions, joy, and the WANT to find God. Additionally, I observed the way God gave each leader a personal faith journey, which influenced their unique approach to guiding their small group in the way they needed most."

    Our Board of Directors

    We're so excited to be able to nurture the lives of young people!

    Our chapter board works diligently to ensure we are leading the ministry in a positive direction to reach young people in our area. This group of well qualified individuals from our community comes alongside our team through counsel, strategy, and accountability.
