2026 Conference Theme

Mirror The Maker

Being a teenager today isn’t easy. Everywhere you turn—social media, pop culture, politics—someone’s telling you how to dress, how to act, and who you should be. It’s like the world is shouting, “Be like this!” But what if there’s a better way?

The Bible challenges us to imitate Jesus, not just follow trends. At CCYC 2026, we’re diving into what it really means to Mirror the Maker—to reflect Jesus in how we live, love, and lead.

So, are you in? Get ready for a weekend that will challenge, inspire, and equip you to live like Jesus in a world that’s desperate for something real. We can’t wait to see you there!

missions

CCYC is proud to partner with missions organizations every year!
Each year during our conference, we take up offerings that go directly to the organization.
Here are some we’ve partnered with this year:

CICM responds to the needs of people in India and surrounding countries through outreach initiatives including providing medical care, disaster relief, shelter, food, education, training and more. It is through this ability to meet physical needs that the door is opened to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, bring hope to the hopeless, love the unlovable and free those in bondage. CICM’s aim is to meet the spiritual and physical needs of those the Lord brings to us.
