SYC 2021 Theme:
REPRESENT
SYC originated from the mission to raise youth into becoming Fishers of Men and Women. As we revisit this original calling, we hope to use this opportunity to help youth rediscover a purpose in their Christian Walk. We aspire that they don't simply be spectators on the sidelines, but instead ambassadors of Christ in all areas of their lives.
This Year's Theme Verse
​
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
​
- 2 Corinthians 5:17

"I still remember crying two years ago because I didn't want to go to SYC. Little did I know that week would be amazing and rekindle my relationship with God. Wouldn't trade that for anything, and SYC this year (2017) would easily be the highlight of my summer!"

"Syc provides a safe space where you can open up your spiritual struggles to others and find that you are not alone. It is a place of connection, reflection, and change."

"A special closeness develops when you eat together, worship together, play together and study together. We see the ripples of SYC after. During every baptism someone will say that they met God or heard his voice at SYC. These experiences have eternal impact."
