Youth for Christ Calderdale is a brand new youth movement inspired by God and building on the previous youth work done in the area.
It will be run by innovative people from a number of different churches and ministries around Calderdale. We have a vision to see young Christians in Calderdale working together to help bring their friends and peers to Christ, to disciple them and provide. This is about young people reaching young people for God.
We are linked with Churches Together, Christian Initiative in Calderdale Schools (CICS) and other youth based organisations/ministries in Calderdale, West Yorkshire.
