What We Do
It isn’t easy being a teenager these days:
- Suicide is the number one cause of death among teenagers ages 15-19.
- The average teenager takes their first drink at age 13.
- The average age at which a teen becomes sexually active is 15 for girls and 14 for boys.
- Most people who don’t make a decision to follow Jesus in their teenage years, never do.
Metro Atlanta Youth for Christ is committed to pursuing teenagers in their world, sharing with them the hope and love that God has for them. In pursuing teenagers, MAYFC will consistently strive to develop safe, bridge-building relationships with middle school and high school students through the different programs that we have to offer. As students come to know the hope and love that God has to offer, our belief is that a teenager’s life will be impacted eternally.
Campus Life seeks to engage young people as life-long followers of Jesus Christ. Campus Life ministry combines healthy relationships with creative programs to help young people make good choices and establish a solid foundation for life. Campus Life is a place for students to have fun, make friends and talk about what matters. Campus Life provides a balanced approach - physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually - to give teens the skills and hope they need to live in a turbulent world.
Deaf Teen Quest is a part of the Campus Life outreach that is designed specifically to build life-changing relationships with deaf and hard of hearing students. Teams of caring Christian adults enter the world of Deaf teenagers with “fun, friendship, fellowship and faith.” YFC Deaf Teen Quest provides a healthy peer group environment with Christian role models to help Deaf teens develop a mature faith that makes a positive difference in the world.
