OFFC – On Fire For Christ Youth Ministry

This ministry exists to reach the thousands of un-churched youth in our city for Christ. Our youth face many challenges that are unique to their diverse age groups. ICC’s youth ministry exists to DRAW teens to a special relationship with Christ, to OFFER their lives to Him, to BOND them with other Christians and to help them GROW in their faith, moving them to SERVE God.

Their future is our passion!
We believe every young person needs:

• Encouragement to nurture a healthy, vibrant faith in God
  • Examples of ongoing relationships with caring adults
  • Establishment of safe places with structured activities during non-school hours
  • Equipping with marketable skills
  • Engaging opportunities to give back through community service

We have responded to the variety of today’s youth subcultures by creating a diversity of ministry models. A clear and compelling mission and a common set of core values unite us.
