Since 1968 Tulare/Kings Youth for Christ has been a local chapter of Youth for Christ/USA, communication the Gospel of Jesus Christ to teenagers in the Central part of California. We are governed by a local Board of Trustees, with volunteer Area Ministry support committees helping and overseeing the ministry in the individual communities we work in. Our desire is to see the youth of the entire twin-county area (there are over 150,000 youth in the region) fully engaged in following Jesus!

Beginning in the 1940's, Youth for Christ is an international organization operating in 127 countries, with 210 chapters doing ministry in 1,800 cities in the United States.
