YOUTH FOR CHRIST CALGARY SATELLITES

When communities are interested in starting a ministry to youth in their area under the umbrella of Youth For Christ, they are called "Satellites". These ministries (of which there are over 50 across Canada) fall under the responsibility of a Chartered Youth For Christ Chapter. These Satellite ministries have their own Steering Committee, to guide and direct the local ministry, but all hiring of staff is done through the Chartered Chapter. Currently, Youth For Christ Calgary has two official satellites that we are working with and there are several others in the fledgling stage.

At present, there is a Satellite in Lacombe AB - "Central Alberta Youth For Christ" with two full-time staff members working primarily on High School Campuses in the Lacombe area. As well we have a Satellite in Ponoka AB with a part-time staff member focusing on High School ministry.

Other areas we are in the process of establishing include:

Carstairs - One of our staff members has been working in this community for several years and has established a Campus Life ministry in the schools there.

Sundre - They have a Steering Committee in place and are looking to hire a staff member.

Strathmore Youth Centre - New to our Alberta Community!
