Building Authentic Relationships
YFC pursues young people across Tuscaloosa to build authentic Christ-sharing relationships. Through large group, small group and one on one meetings we point students towards Jesus. We go where ever young people are found every day of the week. Today more than ever teens need trusting adult relationships.
Thomas Sagona, Choir Director Echols Middle School
"I often see that the students who go through Campus Life seem more fulfilled..."
I have seen many students go through Campus Life, even the ones you would not expect to be there. As a teacher, it is encouraging to see them take responsibility for their own faith. I often see that the students who go through Campus Life seem more fulfilled when they walk into my classroom. I really appreciate it, as a choir teacher, because I feel like music and worship are closely intertwined.
Charles Steiner, Echols Middle School Assistant Principal
"It helps all of our students know that they have adults that they can trust and look to for mentors."
It’s really important for our students to know that they have a good relationship with multiple adults. Not only with the faculty and staff, but within the community at Echols as well. That is a part of what Campus Life does. It helps all of our students know that they have adults that they can trust and look to for mentors. This also helps them continue to develop in every way possible as a student.
Bre, Student
"I think that I should give my life over to you."
Dear Jesus, I don’t know what to do, but I really think that I should give my life over to you. Even though I don’t know you that well, I willingly do it. I’m also learning more about you and I’m really grateful that I’m doing this. There was a point in my life that I never really even thought about you, cause what other kids my age would say. When I got to this camp it really changed my perspective of you. I know you sent me here just for this and I’m thankful and ready to give my life over to you. You were always there but I never realized it, and now I do.
