We’re Vince and Mavis Kehler, and we serve together at YFC Blumenort—Vince as the Ministry Director and Mavis as a Youth Worker. We’ve been married for over 25 years and have spent most of that time in youth and community ministry. Blumenort has always been home for us, and we’re passionate about being present in the lives of the youth and families here—offering support, encouragement, and the hope of Jesus in everyday life.

Vince: I’ve served as a youth pastor, camp director, and community pastor, and I’ve always felt called to walk with people through the mess and beauty of real life. Nothing excites me more than seeing teens discover their value, step into their God-given identity, and grow in confidence. I’m especially grateful to be leading the Blumenort site as we build something meaningful from the ground up—right in the town that has shaped so much of who I am.

Mavis: I’ve been a preschool teacher in Blumenort for the past 15 years, and I love running into former students who now tower over me and are navigating the teen years. Being able to support them again through YFC feels like a full-circle gift. I’ve always had a heart for creating calm, welcoming spaces where kids and youth feel safe to be themselves and talk about what’s really going on. I’m excited to continue that with our youth at YFC.

We’re so thankful to be part of this ministry and to be doing it together. If you’d like to partner with us, we invite you to support the ministry we’re a part of through prayer or financial giving. Your support makes it possible for us to keep showing up, building relationships, and pointing youth to something bigger than themselves. Thank you for being part of this with us.
