Nazarene Youth Conference is a powerful youth event that has been held in different locations over the past six decades. NYC takes place every few years and provides an opportunity for high school students from the USA and Canada to be united in a time of worship, teaching, and community service. Students participate in sessions featuring powerful worship, engaging speakers, creative arts, and also attend nightly live concerts featuring top Christian artists. They serve together with Ministry With Others service projects throughout Salt Lake City. Students also experience interactive discipleship environments, and a Recreation Hall filled with individual and group activities, games, and exhibits.

WONDER!
God is so much bigger than we give Him credit for. Even bigger than we can imagine. Think about the mountains and valleys, the oceans, the sky, the entire universe – then go bigger, and you still haven’t reached God-sized. Yet it all works perfectly, exactly as it should. There are countless displays of the precision of wonder in which the earth and mankind work in one with each other. His fingerprints are evident in all the natural wonders we see. But it’s easy to lose that, isn’t it? It’s easy to lose our sense of wonder. That outward wonder becomes an inward wonder – who am I? Where do I belong? Why am I here? Let’s remember who we are and who we belong to and lose ourselves not in the world, but in the WONDER of God.
“The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy.” —Psalm 65:8
