Youth for Christ Launches Capital Campaign for New Campus Life Youth Center
Youth for Christ (yfclincoln.org) has launched a capital campaign for a new Campus Life Youth Center. The new 12,000 square foot center will be constructed on their 10-acre property on Pine Lake Rd. to host educational and social activities that will empower teenagers to explore their faith. The building will feature a large gathering room with seating for 300 for Campus Life Clubs and educational presentations, space for childcare and family-style dinners for Parent Life programs, two classrooms, a small kitchenette, a large outdoor patio space, and an on-site parking lot.
The new Campus Life Youth Center will also allow Youth for Christ to host their own events without the fear of not having enough room to accommodate large groups. They will have more space for their annual Colorado peach sale, Tabernacle Experience, and Comedy Night fundraiser. Most importantly, a larger facility will be ideal when hosting large groups during the winter months by giving them more indoor space to spread out and feel comfortable. When the facility is not in use by Youth for Christ, it will generate revenue as a much-needed, affordable event space for banquets, wedding receptions, or other social gatherings, such as smaller congregations coming together to meet and worship. The fundraising goal for the project is $2.5 million.
Youth for Christ Lincoln Area is a non-denominational, nonprofit organization serving youth in the Lincoln community and surrounding areas. For more information about the nonprofit or the campaign, visit yfclincoln.org or call (402) 420-7475.
