The story of The Center has its roots in the ministry of Harv Russell at The Christian Youth Center (CYC), which was located in Joliet, Illinois. As Executive Director of The CYC for approximately 50 years, Harv dedicated his life to reaching young people in the Joliet area with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thousands of lives were transformed as teens attended weekly meetings, summer camps and winter retreats. The teens also served as student leaders, day camp counselors, and volunteers in other CYC ministries.

The Center meets Thursday evenings 6:30 join us each week for a mix of teen social activities along with today's relevant topics, live band, hang time, free food, basketball and video games. For more information 815-474-2569
