The Armory exists in the heart of Canonsburg, PA to introduce young people to the love of Jesus. It’s a place where youth grow mentally, physically, educationally, and spiritually.
We serve as a home base for Youth for Christ Metro Pittsburgh’s Canon Mac programs and as a community space for learning, mentorship, and play.
Students in grades 6–8 gather every Tuesday from 7–8:30pm at the Armory. These evenings include games, group discussions, and honest conversations about faith and life, all led by caring leaders. It's free and open to all.

Sports leagues and tournaments provide students with opportunities to grow in leadership, teamwork, and character. Whether playing baseball, dodgeball, basketball, wrestling, or another seasonal sport, youth compete, belong, and build relationships.

Each weekday afternoon, the Armory opens to middle school students who need a place to land. They receive academic support, a snack, access to recreation, and the guidance of trusted leaders.

The Joyful Cup Cafe is an inclusive (or adapted) ministry site (or space) for high school students with disabilities to work and gain life skills that will prepare for future jobs. At the Joyful Cup, We believe that each person is created with purpose.
Our hope is that students come to know their God-given purpose through using their unique gifts and abilities to serve the community.

The Youth For Christ Mentor House is just down the street from the Armory at 216 Taylor Drive. It is a home-like space created specifically for high school students.
Students in grades 9–12 meet every Thursday from 7:30–9pm. These nights feel like family. Teens build friendships, explore life from a faith perspective, and connect with mentors who walk with them through the highs and lows of life.
