Our Mission
Introducing young people to Jesus at pivotal moments
YFC is a movement that reaches young people everywhere with the hope of Christ. We work 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.

A Word from Our Executive Director
Scott Arnold
Have you ever heard a story that crushed you...a child being beaten or a family divorcing? It’s especially hard when you see it happening to an innocent youth. Have you ever wanted to help but didn’t know how? Sadly, the real needs of people are seldom easily met. Poverty, crime, abuse, broken families, loss of hope and spiritual hunger are problems found in every community. While I don’t claim to have all the answers, I believe we have discovered some crucial principals of effectiveness that we use at Central Ohio Youth for Christ.
