Local Missions

YFC Blue bus

Blue Bus Ministry is a mobile outreach of Youth for Christ that serves Indigenous communities across southern Vancouver Island. Through a custom bus, teams travel weekly to connect with children and teens, offering a safe, welcoming space for games, snacks, conversation, and mentorship.

The heart of the ministry is building meaningful relationships—walking alongside young people, supporting them in everyday life, and sharing the love of Jesus in a natural, respectful way. Local churches partner through volunteers, prayer, and support, helping make this consistent presence in the community possible.
