Why we do this

Every young person deserves the opportunity to know Jesus.

A retreat or a game can open a door. At the heart of Youth for Christ is a commitment to relationships that help young people explore faith and grow as followers of Jesus.

  1. Persistent presence

    Showing up consistently and taking time to build trust.

  2. Creating belonging

    Making room for young people to be known, welcomed and heard.

  3. Affirming identity

    Helping young people discover their value and who they are in Christ.

  4. Releasing significance

    Encouraging young people to use their gifts and make a difference.

Churches and communities

Your community.
A shared mission.

We want to see local Christians working together so that more young people can encounter Christ. Alongside our coordinators, we’re bringing people together to pray, listen and help shape youth ministry in their own area.

Our current local work includes:

  • Mullingar
  • Sligo
  • Longford

Whether you’re in one of these towns or exploring what could grow elsewhere, we’d love to hear from you.
