• What’s the theme of the main sessions?

  LIFE TO THE FULL

  Life is a gift to all of us, but there’s a lot to think about when it comes to figuring out what we want to live for. We fill our lives with so many different things in our pursuit of fulfilment. After being Rooted in our identity in Christ, this Easter we’re exploring our purpose to live it out. Jesus says, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” – John 10:10.

  At Easter we remember the death of Jesus, and find that we have the freedom to live life to the full. As we enter the resurrection life, we receive the Holy Spirit so that “you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” – Ephesians 3:19.

  What kind of vessel are you going to be? Are you ready to be filled with a joy that overflows into the world around you?

• Who is the keynote speaker?
  Our guest speaker is Ansonia Wong, youth pastor at the Birmingham Chinese Evangelical Church. Ansy was our speaker last year but sadly had to join us remotely due to Covid. We’re so thankful and excited to have her back with us this year at YEC23!
• What’s the food like?

  Our first meal will be dinner on Friday evening, so make sure you eat lunch before you arrive.
