About

Reaching young people everywhere.

Hope is why we exist. Because Jesus Christ brings hope.

Pierce County is filled with thousands of hurting kids and families who are voiceless, overlooked, and in need of hope for a brighter future. Our mission is to bring God’s story into the lives of these young people and serve them in tangible ways.

Our story

The story behind our work in the Tacoma Area

In 1944 Billy Graham and Torrey Johnson held a Youth for Christ rally in Chicago. The ministry of YFC spread like wildfire across the US. As YFC was forming into an international organization, Tacoma was one of the founding chapters. The founding motto of YFC is as true to today as it was when it was coined “Anchored to the Rock and geared to the times.” YFC has never veered from its commitment to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to lost and hurting young people. Tacoma has been a pioneer in ministry throughout its history. We were working with troubled teens before the national movement had embraced that kind of work

OUR MISSION

To bring hope and transformation to teenagers in Tacoma and the surrounding areas.

Our vision is to have a noticeable spiritual impact on Pierce County by engaging 11-19 year olds in the life long journey of following Jesus Christ.  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 the Word of God and prayer, passion for sharing the love of Christ and commitment to social involvement.
