Junior Youth Challenge®

As young people enter their tween years, we must have a place for them to continue to grow in their faith and be discipled. Junior Youth Challenge® is designed to minister to youth between ages 11-14 and can be adapted for teens from 15-18. The curriculum is designed to give these young people a solid foundation in God’s Word.

It is critical to disciple this age group so they will stand firm for Christ in the midst of the influences of our secular culture. Our passion, as we pour into their lives, is that they will continue to grow in Christ, share the Gospel with their peers, and become CYIA™ students as part of the army of peers and children encircling the globe that fulfills the Great Commission.

Although JYC™ is not new, it is a highway that has been less traveled in CEF®. At the 2025 International Conference, CEF® launched a bold new initiative to expand the JYC™ ministry globally. We want to rise up to that challenge by starting JYC™ clubs here in the North Central Indiana chapter, and YOU can be a part of that initiative! Your willingness to help will be a child's blessing!

“Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”
- 1 Timothy 4:12 -
