YQL began in Jacksonville, Florida in 1995 after a local youth group returned from an overseas mission trip with a desire to reach teens in their city. Their first event was a huge success with 40 teens in attendance. Today, the ministry has grown to a monthly attendance between 1,300 - 3,300 depending on our location. YouthQuake Live exists to partner with our community to inspire young people to fulfill their God-given destiny through life-changing entertainment. At YouthQuake Live we believe that God wants to use young people to reach their generation; each season, teenagers from over 40 local churches commit a year of their lives to help create and produce our live events.
