As we celebrate National Volunteer Week, we’re continuing to highlight the people who help make KYCK happen. Behind every weekend is a team of volunteers quietly serving with faithfulness and joy. Today, we’re meeting Sophie from the Coffee Team!

1. Please introduce yourself!

Hi my name is Sophie, I’m 18 years old and I attend St Paul’s Anglican in Castle Hill. 

2. How many times have you attended KYCK and what made you want to volunteer this year? 

I have volunteered at KYCK three times and my first time ever at KYCK was actually as a volunteer! My church doesn’t usually come to KYCK but I had a friend from another church attend and she always raved about it so when I saw the opportunity to be a Barista at KYCK, I was really excited. 

3. What do you love about volunteering at KYCK? 

I love the community of volunteers, everyone is so overjoyed to be serving the Lord and are always so friendly and encouraging. I also love working in the coffee tent and getting to meet so many of the youths and leaders who have come from far and wide to be in community and learn about Jesus. 

4. Favourite memory or highlight at KYCK 2026? 

Getting to witness all the youth return to the auditorium after the Saturday night session, having just committed their lives to Jesus. 

5. Main takeaway from the talks? 

You can’t escape Gods love, He is with us wherever we run.

6. Something you’re putting into action post-KYCK?

In meeting so many people and hearing their life stories and testimonies at KYCK, I’ve learned that you don’t have to be a minister to be on mission for the Lord. You can serve Him in whatever you do and whatever career you find yourself in.


“I’ve learned that you don’t have to be a minister to be on mission for the Lord.”
