The National Youth Cabinet is excited to share the theme and logo for the Church of the Brethren’s National Youth Conference (NYC) 2026!
The cabinet met in March to start planning NYC and decided on “Light Within Us,” based on Matthew 5:14-16, as the theme.
National Youth Conference will be held July 18-23, 2026, at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colo. Registration opens Jan. 5, 2026. For more information visit www.brethren.org/nyc.
As followers of Jesus, we are to carry the light of Jesus we bear inside of us–shining for those around us to see. We are not to hide Jesus’ light, but share it with those around us, reflecting who Jesus is through our words and actions.
The NYC 2026 logo depicts the light of Jesus within us coming out to shine brightly to those around us. How can you shine Jesus’ light to those around you by sharing about NYC 2026?
— Rachel Johnson along with Anna Schweitzer will coordinate National Youth Conference 2026. Johnson is serving through Brethren Volunteer Service (BVS).
