JEFF BRUCE
CENTER FOR CHAMPIONS
HARRISBURG, PA
Jeff Bruce serves as the Executive Director of Center for Champions, a Christ-centered mentoring ministry based in inner-city Harrisburg. With a heart for discipleship and community transformation, Jeff leads a dedicated team committed to walking alongside youth and families through life-on-life relationships that reflect the love of Jesus.
Center for Champions exists to help young people discover God’s plan for their lives and grow into leaders who influence their homes, schools, and neighborhoods for Christ. Through weekly mentoring programs, college and career prep workshops, and intentional spiritual guidance, students are equipped not only with life skills—but with the hope and truth of the gospel.
Mentors play a vital role by doing more than offering advice; they walk with students through everyday life, building friendships rooted in trust, encouragement, and biblical truth. Over time, these relationships become the foundation for lasting transformation—where young people come to know their identity in Christ and step confidently into their future.
Under Jeff’s leadership, Center for Champions continues to live out its mission: Show up. Show love. Repeat. Each student impacted is a testimony to the power of presence, purpose, and partnership in the gospel.
As Philippians 1:3–5 reminds us, “I thank my God every time I remember you… because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.” Your support helps make this work possible—changing lives in Harrisburg, one mentoring relationship at a time.
