We Are a Ministry Dedicated To Helping Young Men
Our faith-based long-term, residential ministry offers a healthy and stable environment to receive emotional healing and valuable life skills.
Testimonials of Lives Changed
“Youth-Reach was where I first encountered the Lord and saw a dramatic shift from religion to relationship. I came to understand that it wasn’t about doing things right; the Lord just desired communion with me. YRGC helped shape my foundation with Christ and launched me into his amazing plan for me. My experience was life-transforming and it is a key part of my testimony and where I am today.”
“I believe that the people God has placed here at Youth-Reach really care and want to know about your story, hurts and heart. Never have I felt more at home in my life. This is what God designs family to be.“
Healing Past Wounds & Restoring Families
Facilitated by experienced and respected counselors, Youth-Reach Gulf Coast is a faith-based, long-term home intended to heal past wounds, break generational curses, and restore families. Young men ages 18-22 receive intensive counseling and support for developing character, responsibility, and a strong work ethic on our 81-acre campus in rural Summerdale, Alabama.
The healing that occurs reaches far beyond the lives of the residents. Families are restored and as these young men grow and become husbands and fathers, their wives and children also benefit from the important lessons these young men learned while at Youth-Reach Gulf Coast. Not only do we facilitate emotional healing and healthy relationships, but practical skills for daily living as well, such as gardening, home care, auto maintenance and carpentry.

Navigating Mental Health in Young Men: A Christ-Centered Approach
