IYF Purpose/Philosophy Statement

IYF is a multisite event centered on activities that seek to develop youth to carry the ethics of Christ’s peace into all arenas of life.

This is accomplished by focusing on the following areas: Worship, Small Group Encounters, Experiential Learning, Cross-Cultural Experiences, and Personal Faith Exploration.

IYF is enhanced by having high expectations for youth to experience the depths of God’s love and what that means to them as a disciple in community.
