City Life North Portland

What is City Life?

City Life is YFC's growing network of workers who are under the umbrella of the national Core Ministry title of "City Life." The complex challenges related to working with urban youth and families have stretched the boundaries of more traditional YFC club-based models. For some ministry sites, this has meant educational initiatives. For others, it has meant job training programs or sports and recreational activities. For all, it has included personal relationship building along with the core message of the love of Jesus.

Yet, no single approach or "silver bullet" strategy has arisen from within YFC (or from any other like-minded ministries working in the city, for that matter). Instead, it has become clear that the complexities of the urban context require a more flexible, holistic, and multi-faceted approach.
