Our Mission
Our mission at AYCF is to help build thriving ministries that equip, empower, and inspire youth, children, and families for Christ. We believe that by providing the tools, resources, and support necessary, these ministries can make a lasting impact in the lives of young people and their families. Through our various camps and events, we aim to foster an environment where individuals can grow in their faith and develop their gifts. We want to see a generation of young people who are passionate about their faith and actively engaged in their communities.
What We Do
At the heart of AYCF lies a passionate commitment to nurturing the spiritual growth and personal development of children and young people. Through a range of events, we provide opportunities for children and young people to meet with one another, strengthen their faith, and build lifelong connections in a safe environment.
Young Adult Retreat - February 2024
Our first event on the calendar, Young Adult Retreat, is an annual gathering that offers young adults a unique and enriching experience. Set against the backdrop of Glendalough Outdoor Education Centre, this retreat provides a welcome respite from the busyness of everyday life. It's an opportunity to pause, reflect and rejuvenate whilst also connecting and socialising with other young adults. This retreat fosters an environment where young adults can form meaningful connections, find inspiration, and equip themselves for their faith journeys.
Junior Ichthus - September 2024
AYCF proudly hosts Junior Ichthus, a vibrant and engaging youth camp tailor-made for kids from Grades 3 to 6. This annual camp is a place where kids can dive headfirst into a world of faith and fun. Through an engaging blend of outdoor and indoor activities, interactive Bible studies, team-building exercises, and plenty of fun, Junior Ichthus inspires a love for God and instills essential life skills in our young campers. This is where friendships are forged, and the foundations of faith are laid, creating a nurturing environment for young hearts and minds to flourish.
Senior Ichthus - June 2024
For our older youth, we host Senior Ichthus. It’s an immersive camp experience that delves into the heart of faith, personal growth, and engagement with the community. This camp is designed for young people in Grade 7 to 12 who are eager to deepen their connection with God, explore spirituality, grow into confident young adults and have a LOT of fun in the process. Senior Ichthus offers outdoor adventures, fun group games, a campfire, board games, movies, team sports, and so much more - there is something for everyone.
