YFC in detail
CFC-Youth For Christ consists of very enthusiastic young men and women who are eager to serve God and their community. This is a group which is part of the Couples For Christ ministry which can be found all over the world. Ther are many chapters of YFC which can be found in places as near as Ottawa, New Jersey, and Maryland. However, it can also be found in places as far as Australia and the Philippines.

The youth camp is the 'entrance' to the group. Meetings occur regularly, as well as get-togethers. The members in the Toronto chapter are scattered all over Southern Ontario. As of now, we are around 300. The ages range from 12 to the early 20's.

Many of the current members of YFC strongly believe in this statement: "Before YFC, I couldn't imagine life in it. Now it's hard for me to imagine my life without it". YFC gives youth a chance to develope life-long friendships with peers, and with the One who matters the most, God.

How do you become a member of CFC-YFC?

To become a YFC member, there is a retreat which one needs to attend. the retreat lasts 3 days and 2 nights. It costs around $60 for the whole retreat. To fully appreciate the value of the retreat and to make the most out of it, it must be seen not just as a 3-day experience where the teenagers can have FUN, (altough this is also important), but in the light of the overall objectives of the Youth Camp, so that the youth can develop to be joyful;r responsible and fruitful men and women of God. We should realize that the camp is not an end in itself, but the beginning of a relationship with God and those in YFC.

What is YFC about?

YFC recognizes that the members are in a "fast growth" stage in life. It is during this time when formation is fastest. It encompasses various aspects of the young adult's life. The activities, therefore, also relate to the formation, while constantly putting the Christian dimension that a young adult does.

CFC Youth for Christ, therefore is envisioned to be the vehicle for the Christian transformation of the youth.
