From Despair to Hope: How God Changed Noah’s Life at KYCK

(Noah, right, with his best friend at KYCK)

For Noah, attending KYCK for the first-time last year was a life-changing experience. What began as doubt turned into a complete renewal of faith, transforming his view of the Bible and gave him hope and purpose.

1. Introduce yourself and how many KYCKs have you been to?

My name is Noah, I go to BXYouth and I’m in Year 11 this year. I attended my first year KYCK last year! I decided to go to KYCK when one of my school friends said they were going and asked me to come along.

2. What was your KYCK experience like?

It was an unforgettable experience that encouraged me to give my life to Jesus. The talks were well planned out and the music was amazing.

3. Tell us a KYCK highlight!

My favourite memory from KYCK would be the Saturday night talk. Listening to the love and passion to save even just one soul that night pushed me enough to trust in Jesus and love Him with my entire heart, mind and soul. As I walked out of the plaza, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and safety because I had chosen to follow Jesus. I went and sat with a leader and felt like I had overcome my fears.

I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and safety because I had chosen to follow Jesus.

4. How has KYCK encouraged your faith?

KYCK didn’t only just encourage my faith, but completely changed it. Before going to KYCK I believed the Bible was just a silly story. I didn’t really listen to what the teachers had to say in the Bible studies class in school. But once I went to KYCK, my view was completely renewed, I came to trust in Jesus and will never go back!

5. Why would you recommend KYCK to others?

I would recommend KYCK to others for them to strengthen their faith, or even come to Jesus as I did. I believe everyone deserves a chance to hear the Word of God, and one of the best and most fun ways to do that is KYCK!

6. How has being a Christian changed your life?

Before I became a Christian I didn’t have much hope for myself or the world. However, after coming to God, I had a chance to lay my worries down with Him, and He took them and gave me hope. Coming to faith is the most amazing and important thing I have done in my life, and I have so much love for God that He chose to save everyone.

“My Favourite Time of the Year”: Kayla’s KEC Story

Kayla’s journey with Katoomba Easter Convention (KEC) began when she was just five years old, attending alongside her parents. What started as a childhood tradition quickly became one of the most formative influences on her faith. Through the faithful example of other Christians and digging into God’s Word, Kayla has found a place that continues to strengthen her faith year after year, reminding her that ‘we aren’t alone’.

1. Can you please introduce yourself and when you started attending KEC?

My name is Kayla and I been to 20 Easter conventions starting from when I was five years old! I started attending with my Mum and Dad and now with my husband Jono, since we got married in 2022. 

Kayla (left) with her mum and her husband, Jono

2. What made you start attending KEC? 

It was definitely my parents’ decision for that first year (I was a child haha) but it very quickly became just about my favourite time of the year. I so looked forward to the kids program each year and catching up with the same friends each year. As an adult, I continue to attend as I find so much value in spending solid time in God’s word and in fellowship with other Christians from all over NSW and beyond. 

3. Can you share a KEC highlight?

Growing up attending the kids program every year was a highlight. Being encouraged by other Christians my age as well as the leaders who I always thought were so cool. I would recite the memory verses, the talks and discussion times played a huge part in my Christian journey and in my growth as a Christian. 

As an adult, the talks each year are a definite highlight. Working through multiple different parts of the Bible each convention means a lot gets covered in only 4 days and hearing from speakers from around Australia and the world can give different perspectives and ways of explaining things that is so helpful.  

And then of course spending a long weekend away in the beautiful Blue Mountains each year with family is special as well.

4. How has KEC encouraged your faith? 

I think there are more moments, memory verses and talks from my childhoods at KEC that have influenced my faith and helped my faith endure than I can remember. Even just gathering with so many Christians from all walks of life and know that we all love and serve the Lord and are brothers and sisters in Christ is so encouraging each year. It really reminds me that we aren’t alone in our faith and even just how powerful the Lord is. 

It really reminds me that we aren’t alone in our faith and even just how powerful the Lord is. 

5. Why would you recommend KEC to others?

Attending as a child and growing up at KEC was such a blessing. I’m thankful that my parents made this part of our yearly routine. It’s even just so valuable having other Christians faithfully modelling a life lived for Christ to your children, especially when they are teens and might not want to hear about God from you!

I think now as an adult, it is so encouraging to spend solid few days immersed in the word in a beautiful part of God’s creation and to be reminded that we are part of something so much bigger than ourselves – being part of God’s family. 

It’s even just so valuable having other Christians faithfully modelling a life lived for Christ to your children, especially when they are teens and might not want to hear about God from you!

My Rock in a World of Sand: Pollyanna’s KYCK Story

Welcome to Testimony Tuesday! These are stories of faith, transformation, and encouragement from our KYCK attendees. In this story, we hear from Pollyanna and how KYCK has strengthened her relationship with God and reminded her of His unshakable presence through the ups and downs of high school life.

1. How many KYCKs have you been to?

I’ve gone to 2 KYCKs and both times it was the best!

2. Can you share what your KYCK experience was like?

As soon as you arrive you feel swept up in the incredible atmosphere. Reading “All One in Christ Jesus” and seeing the space flood with people people makes that statement even more impactful. Even though it is a short time, I get so much out of KYCK. I become closer to God and my Christian friends whilst getting to meet new people from all around New South Wales. It’s AMAZING!

3. Tell us a KYCK highlight!

My absolute favourite thing from KYCK is the worship. Having that many people in one space, not to mention the people online, all singing to one incredible, powerful, almighty God is amazing. I remember my first KYCK, turning around and being in awe of God’s love toward every single person there – not to mention the 8 billion others in the world.

4. How has KYCK encouraged your faith?

After term 1, the summer camp high has usually dwindled and after all the craziness of school, I feel like I have drifted from God. KYCK helps me remember He’s in control and to keep my eyes set on Him.

Also, seeing just how many teenagers there are that love Jesus or are willing to hear about Him is always so encouraging.

5. Why would you recommend KYCK to others?

KYCK is a great camp because it is short but so so powerful and it allows you to meet new people who are going through a similar journey in high school, connecting through Jesus and His power in our lives.

I remember that God is always there and has the power to provide peace and make my path straight. I lean on Him as my rock when everything else feels like sand.

6. How has being a Christian changed your life?

Being Christian has changed my life for the better in so many ways! The biggest difference for me is having a peace that transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7). God is always there no matter what and that is what I need as a high school student. With the stress from school, friends and social media (basically everything), I remember that God is always there and has the power to provide peace and make my path straight. I lean on Him as my rock when everything else feels like sand.

“A Spiritual Intensive For Our Family”: Amelia’s KEC Story

For Amelia and her family, Katoomba Easter Convention (KEC) isn’t just a yearly event—it’s a cherished tradition that has shaped their faith over the years. From attending as a teenager in the Junior High program to now bringing her own children along, Amelia shares why KEC is a “spiritual intensive” for the family, equipping them with the tools to stand firm in their faith.

1. Please introduce your family!

Hi my name is Amelia and I am married to Pete. We have two daughters, Norah, who is 4 years old and Florence, who is 6 months. We go to Maitland Evangelical Church in the Hunter Valley and together we’ve attended about ten KEC’s. Plus, we’ve volunteered on the Junior High team and we’ve listened online.

2. What made you start attending KEC?

Initially, I came along to KEC with my family and I attended the Junior High program. It was freezing cold that year and we were all squeezed into Clairvaux. I remember the talks were on the theme of ‘Killing the Me-First Monster.”

Being from rural NSW, my first KEC was quite an impactful experience because at the time I only had one other Christian friend, and the concept of actively fighting against our sinfulness was pretty unfamiliar.

Going to KEC that first time brought forth so much fruit in my life because it encouraged me to develop healthy spiritual habits, plus it was super fun! Now that I am Mum, I’ve been praying that KEC will be an encouragement to my girls just like it was me!

Now that I am Mum, I’ve been praying that KEC will be an encouragement to my girls just like it was me!

3. What is the highlight of your KEC experience?

Picking just one highlight is such a tough task because each year I am so richly blessed. However, last year we decided to take our daughter Norah along to the night program despite it being well past her bedtime. After the shared dinner in the courtyard, we went into the auditorium and Norah was immediately excited by the buzz. She was welcomed by many different people and was so comfortable that when the music started, she sang along and danced in the aisle.

It was particularly encouraging for me because it gave me a real sense of God’s big family and it gave us a chance to worship together. Moreover, I was really grateful that she felt like the ‘big program’ was as much for her as it was for the adults. If you’re apprehensive about taking your kids along to the night program, don’t be!

4. How has KEC encouraged you and your kids’ faith?

Norah recently had the opportunity to complete an ‘intensive week’ at our local swim school. And although she can already swim, she attended 6 lessons over the week and was taught the survival skills she needed to feel confident in the water. I feel as though KEC is a bit of a spiritual intensive for our family, teaching us the survival skills we need to stay firm in the faith.

I feel as though KEC is a bit of a spiritual intensive for our family, teaching us the survival skills we need to stay firm in the faith.

My husband and I always learn something new about the character of God and as a result, we’re refreshed, renewed and convicted. We leave KEC confident that God will continue to be faithful throughout whatever hardships we might face in the coming year.

Likewise, the kids program spurred my daughter on to tell her friends about Jesus. She still remembers the songs she sang and she often talks about going back to “Easter-Vention”.

5. Why would you recommend KEC to other families?

In the past, KEC has been freezing cold, our family has been over-tired, we’ve spent an hour waiting in traffic and we’ve exhausted ourselves trying to carry our daughter up that massive hill! But each and every year, we have been spurred on to love Christ more. KEC has yielded so much spiritual growth in each of us that it’s worth all the inconveniences.

And plus, the inconveniences are the exact same as the ones you’d be having if you’d stayed home! So why not experience them alongside a thousand other Christians in the beautiful Blue Mountains! The KEC coordinators have done a really great job of making the convention accessible for families. There is a well-equipped parent’s room and there is always someone who is happy to help out if you need.

There’s something for everyone at KEC. We can’t wait to see you in the mountains over Easter!

Help Light a Spark in the Next Generation

KCC began its ministry to young people 50 years ago, and it is one of the best things the ministry has done in its 120 years. It has impacted hundreds and thousands of lives, and under God, it has been taken by Him from strength to strength.

One example is our KYCK ministry. Every year, across the four weekends, somewhere between 200 and 500 teens make either first-time commitments or re-commitments of their lives to Jesus Christ. And this has been happening every year for at least 20 years.

We want to see the same impact in the lives of Young Adults, so we’ve announced the launch of Spark Conference in 2025, and we need your help to give it a strong footing.

Why Young Adults?

Every year at KYCK, we say goodbye to a large cohort of Year 12 students as they finish high school. The question for us is, what do these kids step into after they step out of high school? What happens after KYCK?

What all of us need, but especially young adults, is something that keeps shining the light of God’s truth onto life. Young adults need something that reminds them that life has been given to them to glorify the Giver. Something that reminds them to lay their life down before God and ask Him, “What do you want me to do?”

We believe Spark is that “something” for Young Adults – a convention that urges them not to waste their life, but to consecrate it to God for His use. An event that they can step in to immediately after they step out of high school.

We have this opportunity to run a pilot event in 2025, and if successful, turn it into an annual event for years to come.

Whether you have a young adult in your family, or group of friends, or not, we are asking you to consider investing in them and sow into them.

Click the link and donate before 31 December and help us to continue the work of the ministry: https://kcc.org.au/YA25

10 Words that Describe KEC

What is Katoomba Easter Convention to you? If you could describe Easter Convention in one word, what would it be?

For our regular attendees, KEC is many things. Families and individuals who come to the mountains every Easter discover that KEC is more than just a conference.

Here are 10 words our KEC delegates have used to describe what KEC means to them.

1. KEC is a highlight

"It is our family’s highlight to attend every year. We attend for the spiritual growth and worship - we love it!" – Mari

2. KEC is a reset

"Through KEC, God provides a reset for me - a yearly 4 days to refocus on God’s Word, His Kingdom, His plans. I need this!" – Karen

3. KEC is incredibly valuable

"It’s incredibly valuable to us as a family of believers to learn more about God, draw closer to Him, be in fellowship with others and praise and worship Him." – Sharon

4. KEC is a tradition

"It is an Easter tradition for our family to go to KEC, in fact we have been sharing a house with the same group of families for 19 years. We enjoy the atmosphere of singing with so many other Christians and hearing from world class speakers that challenge us and re-orientate us toward God." – Marianne

5. KEC is life-changing

"It will be another life-changing experience for me. In this world wherein we live, we need to stop paying attention to the world around us and actively listen to God's Word. Coming to KEC will once again be a life tool for my spiritual walk with the Lord." – Bruce

6. KEC is practical

"The thing I loved most about KEC was the practical application of the Word. Knowing that being swept up in the passion of the weekend, and in the quality of the teaching, wasn’t going to change my life by itself. The encouragement to really take the talks and commit to apply them in my daily walk has made the most difference out of any conference I’ve been to." – Markus

7. KEC is a top-up

"I attended because I love - and really need - the great Biblical teaching that 'tops me up' in my Christian life. It is SO encouraging and deeply refreshes my faith." – Tori

8. KEC is edifying

"KEC is a long-standing family tradition to attend, which we have consistently found edifying and valuable. It’s an opportunity to spend four days together receiving excellent teaching in a beautiful environment." – Alison

"We have been coming most years for the last 25. It is a vital refreshment and encouragement spurring on for our family. We value the teaching, and the kids love the program." – Sarah

10. KEC is family time

"We make the weekend a family time - great teaching and a fabulous time of fellowship with Christian families we have known for 30 years attending." - Katherine

We invite you to join us at Katoomba Easter Convention, 18-21 April 2025, to retreat to the Blue Mountains over four days, and discover what KEC is and what it can do for you and your family.

5,000+ Youth Meet Their Creator God at KYCK

Over three weekends, more than 5,000 teenagers and youth leaders attended the KYCK conference in Katoomba. Founded in 1993, KYCK is a Bible preaching event aimed at inspiring high schoolers to live for Jesus alone. Each year, delegates are invited to hear and respond to God’s word through powerful Bible talks, uplifting worship in song, inspiring testimonies, and fun youth-appropriate activities.

Over the years, KYCK has become a treasured space for teenagers to explore and deepen their faith with like-minded company. Each year, teenagers travel far and wide for fellowship in Katoomba. We are so encouraged that in 2024, we had groups join us from the ACT, Northern Territory and Queensland!

This year, guest speakers Alan Au, Brett Hookham, Sam Low, and Andy Stevenson opened Genesis to introduce youth to their Creator—a powerful and loving God who was there from the very beginning. Talk topics touched on the creation story, the supremacy of Jesus, humanity’s identity and purpose. Special guests Polly Butterworth and Patricia Weerakoon also joined the platform to share what it means for humanity to be created in the ‘Image of God’ and ‘Male and Female’.

“I loved the relevance of the talks, the confidence of speakers, the unashamed focus on the beauty of the way God has made us, and the way we were encouraged to fix our eyes on Jesus throughout it all. There are big parts of Genesis 1-3 that many conferences today would brush over, but I am so thankful to KYCK for addressing them head on with such conviction and compassion.”
– KYCK 2 Leader

We praise God that from hearing His word preached, 68 teenagers became a Christian for the first time, 356 recommitted their lives to him, and 49 left the conference wanting to learn more.

“KYCK made me recommit my life to God. Being around my brothers and sisters in Christ is so uplifting, it shows that no matter how alone in my faith I feel, I am not, and there’s so many people that share my beliefs.”
– KYCK 3 First Timer Youth

“My favourite thing about KYCK 24, as always, is hearing the gospel preached and seeing young lives turning to him! 6 of ours responded! And seeing them move forward in their discipleship!

– KYCK 3 Leader

For teenagers who are already following Jesus, KYCK gives them an opportunity to access speakers beyond their church network—to hear old truths with fresh perspectives. For many, it also serves as a powerful reminder that they are not alone in their faith, and that their beliefs are shared by thousands across Australia. This encouragement is especially important for teenagers in smaller youth groups, isolated rural areas, or who face opposition for their faith at home or school.

It was just amazing experience to be in a room with so many teen Christians and be able to worship together.
– KYCK 1 Youth

KYCK is such an encouragement to our young people and leaders. It’s great to see many of God’s people worshipping together.
– KYCK 1 Leader

“KYCK is the youth’s pinnacle event of the year to fellowship around God’s Word, other youth and singing.”
– KYCK 3 Youth Leader

Hosted as a hybrid event, youth groups can choose to experience KYCK in-person at StayKCC in the Blue Mountains, or KYCK Online; a high-quality livestream promising a ‘front row’ seat from the convenience of a living room or church hall. Delegates who joined KYCK in-person could take part in optional fellowship activities including the ‘KYCK On’ Soccer Cup where youth groups Christ Church Gladesville and Nowra Baptist Church took home the crown; and the Saturday Night BBQ where over $6,100 was raised to support Scripture teachers.

Early Bird tickets are still available for KYCK this September!

KYCK will return for a fourth weekend on the 27-29 September in Katoomba. KYCK 4 Early Bird tickets are still available until 30 June AEST from our website: https://www.kyck.org.au/
