Our Ministries
Different Ways to Reach Different Youth...
There are so many ways the youth now undergo all types of difficulties and experience darkness all around them. Their struggles could be working through family issues, cutting, suicidal ideation and attempts, struggles with identity and trying to fit in a world that seems to not want them, the loss of a friend or family member... and so much more.
So that's where we come in. We strive to show them that there's still hope and a way to come out of the darkness. There's light in the dark. And one that lasts forever.
Below are the various types of ministries where we reach youth in all areas and types of life.
Campus Life
Reaching kids in their own world
Youth For Christ's Campus Life is where staff and volunteers provide a positive influence on school campuses and in communities around the Denver area. Supportive and caring adults help students wrestle with issues they face and pursue a balanced life mentally, physically, socially and spiritually.
There are so many ways we try to engage with students: weekly breakfasts at their schools, clubs (which includes weekly messages, food and fun), mentoring, fun and safe activities/events, small groups, connection with local resources, Winter and Summer Trips, etc.
If you would like to become involved, either as a participant or volunteer, the buttons below will take you to more information on Campus Life, our locations and an email for any questions!
City Life
Meeting kids in all city neighborhoods
Youth For Christ's City Life is a relational, holistic, community-based ministry that desires to see deep change in an urban neighborhood through the raising of indigenous leaders from the young people in that community. In order to meet them wherever they are in life, one-on-one mentorships and weekly small groups are held to connect them with others, as well as build relationships with the leaders.
Juvenile Justice Ministry
Getting to meet them in jails and other hard places
Youth For Christ’s Juvenile Justice Ministries staff and over one hundred adult volunteers provide Chaplaincy programs, one-on-one appointments, Bible Studies, Church Services and Mentoring, seeing over 3,700 incarcerated and newly released youth every year. Serving youth in diversion, probation, detention, and committed facilities in the Denver Area, JJM staff and volunteers provide a continuum of ministry to youth as they make their way through the system.
Parent Life
Providing hope and future for teen parents
Youth For Christ's Parent Life reaches expectant and parenting teens and their children through intentional relationships with trained adults and community partnerships. Parent Life ministry empowers teen parents to make good choices and encourages them to further their education and move toward independent living and become life-long followers of Jesus Christ.
