About Us
Our Connection with You
Reach Out can help you equip and multiply your youth leaders, parents, volunteers and students to reach the younger generation with a life changing relationship to Jesus Christ.
Our History
Dr. Barry St. Clair founded Reach Out in 1977, in response to the overwhelming need to raise up leaders in the younger generation. Through Reach Out, Barry has developed Jesus-Focused Youth Ministry, a practical, biblical strategy for equipping youth leaders. With this strategy, Reach Out has developed equipping teams in over thirty countries around the world. With a vision for equipping parents, Barry has created Parent Fuel, a powerful set of resources that equip parents to fuel a fire for Christ in their kids.

Our Values
We honor Jesus Christ because we believe that He is the ultimate answer to life and that He alone produces fruit in ministry. He causes life change and raises up life-changers. We desire to know His plans through prayer and then obey them.We excel in equipping because we believe that the church needs leaders for the younger generation. We do this through quality training, encouragement, challenge and counsel. We desire to model and communicate excellence in equipping in order to increase the youth leader's ministry effectiveness.
We lead by serving because we believe this follows Jesus' model of effective leadership. We desire to offer this leadership at every level of our ministry and to serve everyone who comes in contact with our ministry.
We relate with integrity because we believe that people are our most valuable resource. We desire to encourage honest, accountable and loyal relationships that allow the deepest and richest communication.
We hold high ethical standards because we believe that our character determines our faithfulness. We desire to conduct our finances, morality and conversation in a biblical manner that will enhance the reputation of the Kingdom of God.
We maximize resources because we believe that God has entrusted us with His human and financial assets. We desire to use those resources for His glory by prioritizing our ministry plans and operating our ministry within the limits of our resources.
