YOUNG LEADER PATHWAY
Equipping the Next Generation of Leadership
West Michigan Youth for Christ is committed to raising up leaders who are dedicated to advancing the Kingdom of God in our region. It is our hope to raise up young leaders who are passionately fulfilling the Great Commission (Matt. 28:19).
The WMYFC Young Leader Pathway is designed for young adults focused on developing Christ-centered leaders who excel in authentic relationships, mission-driven impact, and empowering others. We currently have various programs designed to develop and equip leaders to live on mission with their students, volunteers, leaders and local churches to support the vision of Youth for Christ through training as they engage with lost kids and lead with a team of volunteers in their respective sites.
THIS COULD BE YOU.
