Our Vision

TO EMPOWER AND EQUIP YOUNG INDIGENOUS LEADERS TO CHANGE THEIR COMMUNITY FOR CHRIST.


Our Approach

Raising indigenous leaders

City life is a relational, holistic, community-based ministry that desires to empower youth to change their community for Christ through creative programming and building healthy relationships with adult mentors.

This ministry model also focuses on the raising of indigenous leaders from the young people in their own community and offers opportunities to develop as leaders and give back to their community, demonstrating a “live here, lead here” model.

Our Programs & Activities

  • Club: City Life Club is a fun, weekly gathering where young people can share a meal, talk about relevant topics, play games, hear a biblically-themed message, and have the opportunity to build healthy, Christ-centered relationships.

“Honestly, I feel like YFC is my second family. And that’s something I really appreciate because I know that I have people who actually care and are willing to be there for me and to help me through my struggles and my problems. It’s brought me a long way and it’s been encouraging for me.” - City Life Student
