About us

Durham Youth for Christ exists to take the good news of Jesus Christ relevantly to every young person in Durham.

We are one of four major YFC centres in the North East. These centres run extensive schools programmes and are active in prisons and young offenders units. They utilise creative arts and sports to communicate effectively with marginalised young people and were a major driving force behind NE1.

Our Values

Durham YFC operates within four guiding principles to:

DEMONSTRATE the love of God to young people ... DECLARE the Good News in varied ways in order to lead young people to points of DECISION and support the on-going DISCIPLESHIP of young people

About YFC

Nationally YFC have worked in partnership with the local church for over 60 years and provide various credible and exciting resources for discipleship of young people, such as Rock Solid, RS2 and Mettle. YFC UK are one of three founding organisations to envision Hope08.
