Our Story

While we may be best known for our youth ministry leadership and nationally renowned camps, at Youthfront we’re proud to offer a range of innovative programs for youth, families and churches. We’re committed to helping youth build faith, friendships and leadership – and to providing support for families, churches and youth ministry workers.

Our Mission

Bringing youth into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

Our Approach

Youthfront is committed to helping youth workers and students develop their entire being. As the Church seeks to find ways to cooperate with God’s mission to restore the world, Youthfront is passionately committed to assisting in this endeavor.

A church-assisting organization,Youthfront’s camps, programs, training, resources, experiences and other ministry initiatives are intentionally designed to assist in contextualizing the good news of Jesus Christ. We strive to be creative ministry leaders who engage in theology, ministry, formation, practice, relationships, service and life with a prophetic imagination that cooperates fully with the Mission of God.

Youthfront is committed to nurturing environments for children and youth to encounter God in a transformational way. While we know that transformation is the work of the Holy Spirit and not a formula that we enact, we will intentionally create environments of space, time, dialogue, hospitality and community. The environments that Youthfront creates are intended to help children and youth discover, explore and experience God.

When the Spirit came on Pentecost, God enacted a desire for intimacy with all people gathering together God’s long-lost children who had been estranged by the dividing walls of ethnicity, language, religion, gender, and class to create one new humanity out of the many.  At Youthfront, we believe that this work of mending the divisions and healing the hurt in a broken world, is at the heart of God’s mission and our calling as Christians in this world.

We are committed to helping ministry leaders, churches, parents and young people embrace the essential elements of the Christian faith. We believe that evangelism and discipleship are a process of one’s life-long spiritual journey. We are devoted to the calling, inspiring and equipping of ministry leaders, children, youth and families toward the pursuit of becoming like Jesus Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit, Scripture, the Church community, prayer and other spiritual practices
