Berne, IN — First Bank of Berne proudly announces its recent donation to Youth for Christ (YFC) in support of Campus Life programs serving students across Adams, Wells, and Jay Counties.
Campus Life, a dynamic outreach of Youth for Christ, engages middle and high school students through weekly meetings, exciting trips, and events—all grounded in Christian values. The organization’s mission is to reach young people everywhere with the hope of Christ, partnering with local churches and community organizations to cultivate lifelong followers of Jesus who lead with integrity, devotion, and compassion.
The donation from First Bank of Berne will directly support Campus Life’s efforts to connect with area youth and encourage spiritual growth, positive relationships, and community involvement.
“We’re honored to support Youth for Christ and the important work they’re doing in our schools and communities,” said Gina Hon, Bluffton Branch Manager at First Bank of Berne. “Investing in our youth today helps shape strong, compassionate leaders for tomorrow.”
