Lily has attended KYCK throughout high school and it’s been an ‘unforgettable’ experience. From recommitting her faith in 2022 to learning afresh what it means to be set free in Christ, each year has left its mark.

1. Introduce yourself!

Hi, my name’s Lily Parker, I go to Shellharbour City Anglican, I’m in Year 11 and this year’s was my 5th KYCK.

2. A takeaway from the weekend?

Something I took home this year was no matter how many chains sin tries to lock us up with, Jesus will always set us free because He took our punishment.

3. What would you say to someone who’s never been to KYCK?

If someone’s never been to KYCK, I would say it’s a weekend that’s unforgettable. You get to experience so much—great bible teaching, connecting with other people from different youths and more.

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

The funniest thing that I’ve seen at would have to be Safety Ben’s briefings, they were so funny to watch and iconic till this day.

5. How has KYCK encouraged your faith?  

In 2022, I recommitted my faith on the last night of KYCK, I felt so connected that night and it changed and grew my faith forever.

6. One word to describe KYCK?

One word to describe KYCK, I know it’s technically two words but it’s true! “Life-changing”.
