We’re committed to helping youth build faith, friendships and leadership – and to providing support for families, churches and youth ministry workers.

Bringing youth into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
The Apostles’ Creed:
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy universal church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
Youthfront is a community committed to creating holistic, missional environments for Christian formation.
Recognizing God’s design for humans to be in community, we strive to build meaningful relationships of belonging, sharing life together. We believe mending divisions and healing the hurt in a broken world is at the heart of God’s mission and our calling as Christians.
We nurture a culture of trust based on interpersonal values that guide us toward a healthy community.
We thoughtfully engage with the complexity of ministry and life at the intersection of Divine and human action.
We delight in creating and participating in play together, receiving it as a gift from God.
We pursue the life of Jesus Christ through intentional Christian practices, including prayer as foundational practice. We strive to bear witness to the Good News through our words, actions, and service.
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
We believe God is always preceding. Our number one priority is to abide in God. Prayer is not just something we do, but a Person we are with.
We are committed to loving and caring for one another. We believe the way we love one another is a sign and foretaste of the Kingdom of God and a witness to the world.
We are committed to bearing witness to the great Good News of Jesus Christ in our words and actions. We want to make room for others that they may experience the reality of Jesus in our midst.
