The purpose of the NZYC is to see an army of youth, deeply grounded in the scriptures, committed to God, and enthusiastic about the mission of the church. Our aim is to inspire, equip and empower youth by providing opportunities for them to:

• Know Christ in a more intimate way, to
• Grow in knowledge, understanding and Christ-likeness, to
• Serve Christ by serving others and to
• Share Christ with others using the gifts entrusted to them by the Spirit.

We hope you will be able to leave NZYC with:

• A renewed and strengthened relationship with God
• A sense of where God may be calling you in your life
• The tools and methodology to share your faith in your work, home, and schools
• A network of other like minded young people for ministry opportunities
• Hands on experience in practical ways to be involved in ministry
