The Story of Youth Unlimited!

“Youth Unlimited helps churches challenge youth to commit their lives to Jesus Christ and transform this world for him.”

Youth Unlimited is a non-denominational, non-profit ministry organization with the focus of assisting the Church and its many local congregations with their ministry to our youth. We strongly believe that the local church is the tool God longs to use to reveal himself to this world. We know that taking the call of ministering to youth today is not easy or for the faint of heart. Therefore, we are blessed by encouraging, supporting, equipping and partnering with congregations across North America to reach this generation for Jesus Christ!

The Story of Youth Unlimited!

VALUES We value being centered on Christ, the transformation of lives, operating within the context of the church, missional living, proclaiming the gospel to youth in a way that is relevant to them, a reformed perspective, building and valuing personal relationships and relationships with God, and intentional inclusiveness and diversity (ethically, culturally and denominationally).

OUR HISTORY Youth Unlimited was established in 1919 as the American Federation of Reformed Young Men’s Society and has since evolved into the church-assisting, youth ministry that we are today.

SERVE!WHAT IS SERVE? SERVE is a five to seven-day mission trip that sends middle or high school age students out to care for and restore their world in an environment where they’ll encounter the concepts of justice and missional living. More than just a short trip, SERVE is a faith-forming experience where the communities, congregations and students involved all experience lasting transformation. Prices vary, starting at $290 USD. Students on SERVE participate in revitalizing communities, showing compassion for the marginalized, caring for creation, providing recreation for children, performing acts of kindness and sharing the gospel. SERVE is all about joining with God and a local congregation in the renewal of all things.

SERVE is not just a week-long trip. It’s about transformation that

lasts a lifetime!

SERVE!SERVE AT A GLANCE SERVE Sites SERVE Sites are a one-week mission experience hosted by a local church that requests 40 – 100 students from four or more sending churches to help with their community outreach and revitalization. Custom SERVE For larger groups, those looking to build their own group dynamic, those planning a multi-generational trip or any others in a unique situation, customizing SERVE gives youth leaders the chance to set dates, modify the schedule, lead their own worship sessions, etc. while Youth Unlimited supplies the key values found in all of our faith-forming experiences.

LIVE IT !LIVE IT is a five-day event that engages with high school age students at their point of interests and passions. By pairing students with like-minded peers and adults, they will see how God created them with a purpose so much greater than self-gratification. Students will learn how to use their interests to reflect Christ’s love and be challenged to return home and do the same. Participants will be a part of morning and evening worship each day as well as connecting with their own youth group in the evening to share what they are learning and growing in. The mornings and afternoons will be spent in the participant’s chosen track. When they register, they will choose what track interests them most: Spiritual Disciplines, Athletics, Arts or Service.

LIVE IT !By offering four different tracks: Spiritual Disciplines, Athletics, Arts and Service, students will recognize how each person comes to the table with their own personality, interest and God-given talents. Within each track they’ll discover how their unique voice helps create the body of Christ and makes us ready to spread his love in our world.
