After years of knowing about God but living like the world, it was at KYCK 2022 that everything changed. Surrounded by joyful worship and powerful teaching, Abbie recommitted her life to Christ and discovered a joy far deeper than anything she’d found elsewhere. Now, four KYCKs later, she continues to grow in faith, leaning into God’s love and living out her identity as His child.
1. Please introduce yourself!
Hi!! My name is Abbie and I’m from Fusion youth group (Maitland Evangelical church). 2025 was my fourth year at KYCK.
2. Tell us a little about your faith journey.
I always grew up in a Christian home and always knew God existed, but didn’t always like the concept of ‘following rules’ and ‘religious expectations’. It was in year 7 when I went to a new school and friendships got really messy. I was fully swayed by the world and the message it had for me, not God’s. It was when I attended KYCK in 2022 and realised what I’d been missing out on all this time. All my joy could be found in God. I recommitted my faith on that Saturday night, and have been striving to live my best, most honest Christian life ever since.
All my joy could be found in God.
3. Main takeaway from KYCK 2025?
My takeaway was that God plants the seeds and grows the tree of our faith, but we help to actually bear the fruit that everyone can see on the outside.
4. How has KYCK encouraged your faith?
KYCK, every year, helps me to remember that I always belong in God’s kingdom and to lean further into His love and comfort. He knows us better than anyone else!
5. Favourite memory at KYCK?
The worship is always my favourite thing at KYCK. It gives the little snapshot of what heaven will feel and sound like, and nothing is more encouraging than having around 2000 young Christians singing with you.
6. What would you say to say to someone who has never been to KYCK?
You should definitely go to KYCK if you want to explore who God is and what being a Christian is. Come if you want to deepen your faith, if you want to encourage your friends in their faith, and if want a great weekend full of amazing songs, talks, food, and fun activities. I promise that you won’t regret it.
