Press Release: The Birth of Cultivating Kingdom Citizens, Inc.
Welcome to Cultivating Kingdom Citizens Incorporated (CKC INC.)!
YouthForChrist305+ is now a part of our history as we embrace CKC INC. — our new trajectory and prophetic assignment. While our direction has evolved, our mission remains the same: to build a legacy of evangelizing, revitalizing, educating, and cultivating the NOW generation to be effective in the body of Christ.
We understand that this transition may come as a surprise, and you may have several questions about what this announcement means. This press release is designed to answer those questions and bring clarity to the heart behind this shift.
Is this a new name?
CKC INC. is not merely a name change — it’s an identity shift. Instead of rebranding the former ministry, we chose to birth something new. While CKC INC. continues the mission and heart of YFC305+, it is not a simple relabeling but a transition from one organization to another.
Legally, our previous organization has been dissolved, and Cultivating Kingdom Citizens, Inc. has been formally established as a new entity.
What does this identity shift represent?
This shift marks the removal of two defining limits from our former identity — age and geography.
Age Focus Removed: The word “Youth” has been intentionally removed from our name. This does not mean we will stop serving Gen Z or young adults; rather, we refuse to limit our impact to one demographic. The gospel is for all ages who are willing to humble themselves as little children before Christ. Our vision is multi-generational — a ministry where generations unite to advance the Kingdom together. Youth and young adult programming will remain core to our mission, but with the added strength and wisdom of other generations walking alongside them.
Geographic Focus Removed: The 305 area code has also been released from our name. This is not a departure from our Miami roots, but a declaration that our reach extends beyond borders. While CKC INC. is registered in the State of Florida, our assignment is national and international. We are expanding to impact lives across states, nations, and territories — wherever God sends us.
It was never about age or location. It was always about mandate: preaching God’s government to everybody, everywhere.
This is more than rebranding — it’s revival in structure, focus, and scope. Welcome to the next chapter. Welcome to Cultivating Kingdom Citizens, Inc.
What happens now?
2026 is our Year of Disruption. For the month of January, we will be fasting for 10 days. You can read more about our new theme and fast here. Eventually, future programming for the rest of the year will be announced through additional press releases (similar to the one you are reading now).
This next chapter requires new capacity—and new Kingdom investors. We are believing God to release the resources needed to underwrite the vision and fuel our broader initiatives. Your seed doesn’t just sustain a ministry—it multiplies a movement. Donations can be accepted here.
Additional Questions You May Have
Will any of the original YouthForChrist305+ programs continue under CKC INC.?
Yes. Many of our core initiatives — including evangelism events, discipleship gatherings, and youth development programs — will continue under the new organization. However, they will operate under a broader Kingdom framework that welcomes other regions and other generations.
What happens to YFC305+ leadership and members? Do I have to rejoin this new ministry?
Our Executive Leadership team and community members (who are willing to embrace our new future) are transitioning together into CKC INC. While the structure and branding are new, the people, passion, and purpose remain consistent.
If you are already a member, you will be introduced to our new ministry structure, which will operate through our website instead of a social media group chat. You will receive member-only updates through automated emails and text messages while general information can still be found on our social media. If you would like to join as a new member for member-only updates, you can sign up on the contact form at the bottom of our website Homepage. Before becoming a member, you should read more about us and pay close attention to our beliefs, which can both be found on our website.
Why start a new organization instead of rebranding the old one?
We felt a strong spiritual and strategic leading to birth something new rather than modify the old. Just as new wine requires new wineskins, this season of ministry demanded a new vessel to carry a larger vision.
