YEC

What IS YEC?

YEC (Youth Evangelism Conference) is a huge youth event held every year at the Macon Colosseum. First thing you should know is its fun! The music really rocks, both the worship (Todd Agnew) and the late night concert (David Crowder). The speaker (Ed Newton) is funny, the skit guys will be hillarrious, and just being at this huge events surrounded by your friends and thousands of other youth is just cool. But YEC is about more than fun. Its also meaningful. The worship does rock, but its also powerful as you feel yourself connecting the words and the music and actually worshiping God. The speaker will make you laugh, but he will also make you think. Whether you are a Christian hoping to go deeper, or you've never really got what Christianity is all about, YEC is a chance to really think about what is important in life.
