About Tacoma Youth For Christ:

Youth for Christ is a youth evangelism organization that equips Christian leaders to share the good news of Jesus Christ with 11-19 year olds. We are committed to relational ministry, biblical truth, and the power of prayer. 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.
