Belonging in God’s Family: Grace’s First KYCK Experience

For Grace, attending KYCK for the first time was an experience she’ll never forget. What struck her most wasn’t just the energy of the worship or the powerful talks, but the simple reminder that she didn’t need to prove herself to God. At KYCK, she was reminded she already belonged to His family.

1. Introduce yourself!

Hey! My name is Grace McNamara, and I’m currently in Year 10. I go to Albion Park Presbyterian Church, but came to KYCK with Nowra Baptist. This is my first year attending KYCK!

2. A takeaway from the weekend?

One thing that really spoke to me was the reminder that we don’t need to prove ourselves to God. There will be moments in life when we feel like we’re not living as part of God’s family, times when we doubt, struggle, or feel like we don’t belong. But if we collapse fully into God’s love, we’re reminded that we are saved, we are free, and we do belong.

But if we collapse fully into God’s love, we’re reminded that we are saved, we are free, and we do belong.

3. What would you say to someone who’s thinking about coming to KYCK next year?

Definitely recommend it! Even if you don’t know God, it is a great way to see His impact on others, to hear their stories and feel welcomed by everyone around you.

Everyone is super welcoming and open to talking about God and their faith. 100% recommend for anyone and everyone.

4. How has KYCK encouraged your faith?

KYCK has helped me grow in my faith by introducing me to heaps of other Christians that share my beliefs. It is really encouraging to be surrounded by these people and shows you that you’re not alone.

“It is really encouraging to be surrounded by these people and shows you that you’re not alone.”

When you sing praise at KYCK, the room is full and overflowing with voices singing their heart out and truly meaning the lyrics. The talks speak into your walk with God and have many applications to your daily life. it is an experience that really grows and encourages you.


Registrations are now open! In 2026, we’ll dive into the book of Jonah to discover the depths of God’s great mercy. How deep does His mercy go? Deep enough to save a rebellious prophet, a whole city, and the world through Jesus. Don’t miss out on a weekend away in God’s Word with thousands of other youth.

Neika’s SPARK Story: Finding Encouragement in Community

For Neika, faith wasn’t something she grew up with. After high school, she decided to tag along with a friend to church and that small step opened the door to meeting Jesus! At SPARK, Neika found encouragement in worship, friendship, and the bold reminder to live each day for Christ.

1. Please introduce yourself and tell us a little about your faith journey.

Hi my name is Neika, I’m 20, and I attend St Matthew’s Anglican Church in Wanniassa, Canberra.

I grew up in a non-Christian family, only attending church at Christmas! My faith journey, like many others, is a long story—but it began to develop after high school. After leaving school, I struggled with the uncertainty of what the future held.

While I was struggling, I began searching—searching for anything that could help me. Along the way, I remembered I had a friend who attended church. I asked if I could come with her one time, and of course, she said yes! That was just the start of my faith journey and meeting Jesus. Praise God!

2. What made you want to attend Spark?
I met some beautiful people at KEC (Katoomba Easter Convention) earlier in the year from across Australia. We thought SPARK would be an amazing opportunity to catch up again.

3. Describe your Spark experience! What was a highlight for you?
SPARK was amazing! Seeing so many young people in one space praising God was such an encouragement. Worship was a highlight—what a blessing it was to sing and glorify His name.

4. One main takeaway from the weekend?
Boldness is about doing what God empowers you to do!

5. How have you been living differently after Spark?
SPARK encouraged me to be bold in my faith and to consider what it means to live a holy life each day.

And if you haven’t heard the news yet… Melissa will be joining us as a speaker at OneLove 2026! We can’t wait for you to get a taste of her teaching through these conversations.

1. The Deep Dish

The Deep Dish is a new podcast from TGC hosted by Melissa Kruger and Courtney Doctor that invites women into deep conversations about the deep truths of God. These discussions (which are always better served up with a slice of deep-dish pizza!) will equip women to engage in richer discipleship relationships in their local contexts. Tune in for warm conversations among friends—including special guests along the way—to dig deeper into God’s Word and explore how it applies to every area of our lives.

2. Let’s Talk

Let’s Talk is a podcast for women from The Gospel Coalition Podcast Network. On each episode, Jackie Hill Perry, Melissa Kruger, and Jasmine Holmes talk about a different topic and how to apply biblical wisdom to everyday life. Topics range from work, boundaries, conflict, spiritual gifts, and more.

3. How to Pursue Meaningful Mentoring Relationships

In this episode, Melissa Kruger discusses the importance of mentoring relationships for all Christians. She reflects on her own experiences learning life-changing lessons from older women, highlights some of the core aspects that should be in place in every mentoring relationship, and shares advice for overcoming the imposter syndrome that so many of us feel when it comes to helping others follow Christ.

4. Joy

“The object of our joy is the substance of our happiness. We like to rejoice in all these things, and we can go to God and say, ‘Thank you for my family, thank you for the fact that we have a meal to eat tonight, thank you that we have a house,” but he is the ultimate substance of our joy. The more we focus on him, the more we will be joyful!” – Melissa Kruger

From Wagga to Katoomba: Why KYCK Is Worth the Drive

The youth of South Wagga Anglican Church make the trek each year to experience the joy of worshipping with thousands of others their age. For many of them, KYCK is a powerful reminder that they’re not alone in their faith and that even from regional Australia, they’re part of something much bigger.

Kylie (far left in pink)

1. Please introduce yourself!

Hey! I’m Kylie and I’m the families & children’s minister at South Wagga Anglican Church. This was my very first KYCK, but as a church it was our fourth. We have around 200 people who attend our services each Sunday and about 20-25 youth. 

2. Why do you make the trip to KYCK each year?

Our youth look forward to attending KYCK each year, it’s a real highlight for them to experience such an amazing program for teens who love Jesus and are expressing their faith together.

3. What was your group’s favourite part of the weekend?

Our youth really loved the times of praise & worship, and the fellowship.  It can feel isolating in the country, so they were encouraged to know that there is so many other youth who follow Jesus too!

It can feel isolating in the country, so they were encouraged to know that there is so many other youth who follow Jesus too!

4. What was a highlight for you as a leader?

Watching our youth connect with one another and be encouraged in their faith,  and resolve to follow Jesus more publicly when they got home.

5. What would you say to another regional youth group thinking of coming next year?

Start planning early to go,  it’s worth the effort to see the seeds you’ve been nurturing get a boost of fertiliser in a big weekend of lots of growth! 


Country KYCK Bonus is back in 2026!

“It’s An Investment In Your Faith”: Rylea’s KEC Tradition

For this returning attendee, Katoomba Easter Convention isn’t a decision—it’s a rhythm. After more than five years of attending, Rylea now calls KEC a “non-negotiable” part of her year. Amid major life changes, a new job, new degree, and an upcoming wedding—KEC 2025 became a moment to pause, reflect, and surrender afresh.  

1. What made you decide to come to Easter Convention this year? 

Since my first year attending, Easter Convention is now a non-negotiable. Nothing really makes me ‘decide’ to come because it’s simply a habit now. Easter is such a grounding and resetting time of the year to reflect on my walk as a Christian. Every year I am re-motivated to re-centre my life around Jesus, and having this one long weekend is a perfect “spiritual reset” to remember what is truly important amongst the busyness of life.  

Every year I am re-motivated to re-centre my life around Jesus, and having this one long weekend is a perfect “spiritual reset” to remember what is truly important amongst the busyness of life.  

2. You’ve been to Easter many times. How was this year different?

Easter did feel quite different this year. In my personal life, I’m in the midst of a big year of change; a new job, a new degree, getting married, and all the things that come with that. I felt a much more emotional response to the talks this year, and I don’t know if it’s simply because of my personal circumstances, or the rawness of the speakers this year.  

Each speaker was very honest about where they have lacked, where they have fallen short, and where they still needed to grow. There is always a focus on how we live our lives outwardly, but this year I really felt a shift in my convictions around my perspective, and inner life. How do I view others? How do I truly turn to God first over things or my own might? What is my natural heart posture? Seek First the Kingdom had such a focus on a total surrender of your life and that really spoke to me this year, as I am stepping into so many unknowns, it is comforting to know I don’t need all these extra things, but just one thing: surrender. 

3. What was a highlight or moment from the weekend that really stuck with you?  

My highlight this year was Kirk Patston’s talks. They were so wonderfully confusing. I often find myself feeling like when I hit a point of God that I don’t understand, I simply need to dig deeper, pray more, ask for a revelation, etc. which are all good things. However, Kirk really opened my eyes to the mystery that is our God. He is so big, and so outside of us that there are things I can never understand, and that’s okay. What a joy it can be to believe in a God that we can never fully know! A constant reminder that God is God and I am not. 

4. Was there a particular talk or speaker that encouraged or challenged you? How so? 

Definitely Kirk. His honesty through his own struggles, his lack of fear to provide us with riddles and show us all that we do not know, his willingness to leave things unanswered as we grapple with our own thoughts and convictions. It was a unique way of looking at the Bible and discovering more of God’s character that has really changed the way I approach diving deeper into my faith and into the Word. 

5. How did you see God at work during your time at KEC? 

KEC is such a beautiful time to see God at work through his Spirit. New understandings from old passages, testimonies from other visitors, little whispers during talks. It can be overwhelming to be in a room with thousands of Christians and you may expect to hear such a loud and clear word from God, but I find that in those loud and busy times, God is still in the whisper. He’s in the quiet times after the talks, in your thoughts as you dwell on a word or point from the day. KEC for me is a time when God has already been at work in people’s lives, and KEC is often the final piece of the puzzle for them to connect. 

It can be overwhelming to be in a room with thousands of Christians and you may expect to hear such a loud and clear word from God, but I find that in those loud and busy times, God is still in the whisper.

6. What was it like attending KEC with those you came with? 

I attended with my fiance and a few friends. It is so encouraging to attend with the people close to me. It was one friend’s first time and one friend’s second, and to see how the weekend refreshed them and enriched them, and their faith was wonderful. It is a wonderful thing to be able to spend 4 uninterrupted days with the people you care about, and to be prompted to have deeper, more insightful, faithful conversations is something I am thankful for each year. 

It is a wonderful thing to be able to spend 4 uninterrupted days with the people you care about…

7. Did anything surprise you about the weekend—either practically or spiritually? 

I was surprised by the spiritual impact KEC had on me this year. I was really encouraged to have a whole perspective shift into what it means to truly Seek First the Kingdom and to surrender all parts to God. I feel like this has been a deeper step I’ve yet to take, in truly understanding what that means, and whilst I’m by no means perfect, I find myself more equipped to look not into my life and where I can fit God, but into what God is already doing, and how I can be a witness for Him there, surrendering my plans for the plans of the Kingdom. 

8. What would you say to someone considering coming to KEC for the first time next year? 

Come! Do not hesitate. It’s an investment in your faith; it’s an investment in your future. It’s a weekend away in beautiful Katoomba (with amazing food if you stay at Mountain Camp!), but also, if you let it, it can be such a foundational weekend of your year. I cannot imagine a better way to spend Easter than truly reflecting on all that Jesus has done for me when He died on that cross.  

It’s an investment in your faith; it’s an investment in your future. It’s a weekend away in beautiful Katoomba (with amazing food if you stay at Mountain Camp!), but also, if you let it, it can be such a foundational weekend of your year.

9. How has KEC impacted your walk with Jesus as you return to everyday life? 

KEC exposes me to so many new ways of thinking and reading the same passages I have read before. With the wide variety of speakers that attend it’s almost impossible to leave without a new perspective. It’s a constant reminder that there are always ways to grow, and that helps me to turn inwards every day, to look at how I can grow in Spirit, grow in fruit, and really show the God I claim to follow through my daily actions, not just through my words. 

10. In three words, how would you describe your KEC 2025 experience? 

Refreshing, impactful, life-changing.


Fear has become a significant part of everyday life for many people. Despite our technological advancements, rise in living standards, and increases in lifespan, there always seems to be more to fear every day.

One of the most repeated commands of God to His people is “Fear Not!”. Are Christians meant to take this command seriously? If yes, then how do we do it?

Life can be full of challenges, threats, struggles and griefs. Some are over quickly; others can last a lifetime. So how do we handle those in a way that honours our Lord: trusting and obeying Him through our fears?

Only the truth of God—revealed in His word and the life, death and resurrection of His Son—speaks to life as it really is. It speaks not just to fear and pain, but to promise, hope and the victory of light over darkness.

Join us next Easter for what will be, God willing, a powerful encouragement to trust Almighty God more. Registrations are OPEN.

Beyond Comfortable Christianity: Christine’s Spark Experience

Christine came to Spark after hearing her church talk often about KYCK. With Spark described as an “adult KYCK,” she couldn’t pass up the opportunity. What she found was more than just a conference. It was a weekend that gave her a stronger conviction in her faith and deepened friendships with those around her!

1. Please introduce yourself!

Hi, my name is Christine. I’m 21 from St John’s Anglican in Maroubra.

2. What made you want to attend Spark?

I’m not from Sydney and my church talks about KYCK constantly. When Spark was proposed as an ‘adult KYCK’, I couldn’t not come!

3. Describe your Spark experience! What was a highlight for you?

Spark was SO well put together! The worship was a huge highlight, specifically the Saturday night when we stopped to pray with those around us mid-worship. It made the whole experience feel more community and fellowship-focused!

I just loved Spark. St John’s will be back next year, and with an even bigger group (24 wasn’t enough this time!).

Oh, and FELLOWSHIP! I made so many new friends, got so much closer with the people I already knew. YAY GOD!

4. One main takeaway from the weekend?

I was convicted in each talk about being a ‘comfortable Christian,’ so my main takeaway was how I can push my comfort, give more to church, and use my time for others even at the expense of my own energy, etc.

5. How have you been living differently after Spark?

It feels like everything I study or read or hear somehow relates to one or more of the Spark talks! I’ve gained so much knowledge that has helped me talk to newer Christians, and examples that helped me understand things I can now use to help them!

Geneva’s KYCK Story: Solidifying My Faith at KYCK

Having attended KYCK three times, Geneva describes the powerful moments of worship and prayer where the presence of God feels undeniable. Geneva’s KYCK journey has been one of growing trust in Jesus and solidifying her faith.

1. Introduce yourself!
Hi, I’m Geneva from St Clement’s Youth and I’ve been to KYCK 3 times!

2. A takeaway from the weekend?

One thing I took home this year was that through and because of Jesus I am free, and all the chains of my past are broken.

3. What would you say to someone who’s thinking about coming to KYCK next year?

If somebody had never been to KYCK, I would say to them that you can feel the Holy Spirit flooding the room when we sing. You can feel Jesus opening doors you’d never know were there when we pray and the memories are unforgettable and will last forever.

4. What was the funniest thing that’s happened to you at KYCK?

The funniest thing to happen was when we tried to go on a scenic waterfall walk with our church and we got lost because it was SO foggy and a local had to help us

5. How has KYCK encouraged your faith?

I was already a Christian, but KYCK gave me the chance to solidify and really understand my faith. It’s given me a spiritual boost and helped me to me trust Jesus in everything I do. It has also led me to Jesus by showing me a beautiful, Spirit-led community and reminded me of Jesus’ presence with us.

    “I Can’t Think of a Better Way to Spend Easter” 

    For this KEC family, Easter Convention has been a part of their lives for decades. But 2025 brought a new kind of joy — with children growing into new stages, new conversations, and a fresh encouragement to keep seeking God’s Kingdom first. From ‘mind-blowing’ Bible talks to seeing God at work in new friendships, James’ story captures the refreshing and lasting impact of a weekend spent in God’s Word.

    1. You’ve been to Easter many times. How was this year different?

    My wife and I have come to KEC almost every year since 1998. This year was the first with our youngest children in the Junior High program and the first with our eldest child attending as an adult. This gave us more time to chat, connect with friends and sing each morning, and saved a rush back to the high school before lunch – thankful for a more relaxed experience due to our kids’ ages.

    2. What was a highlight or moment from the weekend that really stuck with you?

    The theme of “Seek First the Kingdom” I think will very much stick with me, especially as I am about to start working with a new group of people who will be seeking other things first. I felt very much encouraged to stick with Jesus’ priorities and to pray for others to enter his kingdom too.

    3. Was there a particular talk or speaker that encouraged or challenged you? How so?

    I very much appreciated hearing/seeing Glen Scrivener in person having heard/watched some great content through SpeakLife. The way he opened up Psalm 22 via Psalms 1-2 was mind blowing and very helpful.

    4. How did you see God at work during your time at KEC?

    I got to know someone who had come to KEC for the first time and seemed very much encouraged by the talks, music, and conversations throughout the weekend. At the end, they said they are very keen to attend again next year.

    5. What was it like attending KEC with your family?

    Our large family shared a bunk room onsite which was again a fantastic experience. The meals at Hartley/Mountain Camp were superb. We love the mix of separate programs in the morning and combined talks in the evenings.

    7. Did anything surprise you about the weekend—either practically or spiritually?

    I was surprised with not one but two international speakers! 

    8. What would you say to someone considering coming to KEC for the first-time next year?

    I can’t think of a better way to spend the Easter long weekend. It is worth the expense. It gets even better in future years as you look forward to it more and more.

    9. How has KEC impacted your walk with Jesus as you return to everyday life?

    The talks and conversations at KEC have spurred me on to put Jesus and His Kingdom first, in every sphere of life.

    10. In three words, how would you describe your KEC 2025 experience?

    Refreshing, enjoyable, stimulating.


    Fear has become a significant part of everyday life for many people. Despite our technological advancements, rise in living standards, and increases in lifespan, there always seems to be more to fear every day.
