History
Read the story of how it all began.Back in 1994, a group of students from Christ the Redeemer Church went on mission trips to Equador and El Salvador with Global Expeditions. That summer they realized that God could use them to change people's lives as long as they would step out in faith and obey. Then they came home and decided, we want to do something significant to reach people back in our own town. Of course they took this question back to their Youth Pastor, Sean Yost who suggested that they start a bible study. But they wanted more. Much more. And in those weeks after God gave Sean the vision of YouthQuake Live. Putting together a live event where teenagers could use their gifts and talents to use other teenagers.
The first show took place in February of 1995. The 10 teens from Christ the Redeemer invited another 10 from another group to form the first YouthQuake Live cast. On that first night they peeked through the curtains before the show and were amazed to see the room packed with 40 people. That night history was made held together with clip on lights, a lot of duct tape and a dream of reaching a generation.

It’s a difficult task to try to record the impact that the message has on the audience each month. Some teenagers will come forward, some will go to the altar room and some will stay in their seats. Its amazing to hear the stories time and time again of teens who went home with out responding and later recommitted their life to God because of that night. We know that God has planted seeds in the lives of thousands. Through the years we have been able to record over 17,000 decisions from first time commitments to Christ, True Love Waits Commitments, Decisions to go on mission trips and recommitments to Christ. God has truly done more than anyone could ask or imagine through out the years.
