| We in
Youth For Christ believe... |
The
Philosophy of Youth For Christ: |
| *That God is calling everyone to a
personal relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. |
*That this call is not
exclusive but shared with all sectors of society, regardless of age, colour, nationality,
status, and beliefs in life. |
*That the youth have a very
special place in God's heart, and that they in return have a very deep sense of love for
God, and that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is something they desire. |
*That the youth have a
vibrant, energetic, dynamic, and free-spirit nature. Rather than denying this nature and
force the youth into a mold that stisfies our own perception of Christianity and holiness,
we accept this nature, not curtailing it, but re-channeling, into an acitve expression and
submission and participation to the plan of God. |
*That the youth realize the
need to make decisions in life; but they should also know that as they do, God should
always be an inseperable part of these decisions; Knowing also that they are future
leaders of the families and societies, we realize that this future depends on how they are
molded today as God's children. |
*That the youth grow not
only from what they recieve, but more through what they are able to share with others. |
*That youth are responsible as long as
they are given the appropriate amount of guidance. |

Who can become a members of
YFC?
|
| YFC is open for
membership by children of Couples For Christ. The age range of membership is from 12 to
early 20's. It is also open to membership by children whose parents are not within the Couples For Christ
community. It transcends all cultural, economic, educational, racial, and other distinctions.
YFC is primarily a Catholic organization. Catholics are Christians -- we believe in Jesus Christ, and we reenact His Last Supper every weekend. Some even go to Mass everyday. We consider the Mass the highest form of worship. So, you might ask, can non-Catholics join YFC?
Of course! But you hafta recognize that YFC is primarily a Catholic organization. It's still kewl, and you can still sing songs and participate in the activities. You can even become Catholic if you choose to.
But because you belong to YFC, you have to accept, respect and adhere to the teachings of the Catholic Church with regards to marriage, sexuality and the family.
Joining YFC means you are going to learn more about Jesus Christ, His teachings, His people, and your role as a son and daughter of God. You are going to learn all these things in a community called Couples for Christ. And Couples for Christ is out to defend the name of the Lord and preserve and strengthen the family.
In other words --
From: International Statues of Couples for Christ
3.0 Membership
3.12 Though a Catholic community, Couples for Christ is open to membership by non-Catholic Christians, who can join as associate members. Associate members can participate fully in the non-sacramental life and mission of Couples for Christ, and must recognize and defer to the Catholic nature of the community. Non-Catholic associates, though remaining faithful to their Church, have to accept, respect, and defer to the principles and teachings of the Catholic Church on marriage, human sexuality, and the family.

How do you become a member of
CFC-YFC?
Gotta go to camp
|
| To become a YFC member, there is a retreat which one needs to attend. The retreat lasts 3 days and 2 nights. It costs around $60 for the whole retreat. To fully appreciate the value of the retreat and to make the most out of it, it must be seen not just as a 3-day experience where the teenagers can have FUN, (although this is also important), but in the light of the overall objectives of the Youth Camp, so that the youth can develop to be joyful, responsible and fruitful men and women of God. We should realize that the camp is not an end in itself, but the beginning of a relationship with God and those in YFC. |
