Youth For Christ Calderdale is a youth movement inspired by God and building on the previous youth work done in the area.
It is run by innovative people from a number of different churches and ministries around Calderdale. We have a vision to see young Christians in Calderdale working together to help bring their friends and peers to Christ, to disciple them and provide. This is about young people reaching young people for God.
We are linked with Churches Together, Christian Initiative in Calderdale Schools (CICS), HYP (Helping Young People) and other youth based organisations/ministries in Calderdale, West Yorkshire. We are part of British Youth For Christ www.yfc.co.uk, which is part of Yout For Christ International www.yfci.org
We meet together for prayer to support the work regularly, so if you would like to join us, watch out for announcements.
