NCYC Teen Testimonies
2021 Theme: Ablaze • Enciende el Fuego
The second chapter of the book of Acts tells about the coming of the Holy Spirit. At NCYC 2021, we will call upon the Holy Spirit to descend upon our young Church and set them Ablaze for the Lord!
El segundo capítulo del libro de los Hechos de los Apóstoles nos habla de la venida del Espíritu Santo. En NCYC 2021 pediremos que el Espíritu Santo descienda sobre nuestra Iglesia joven y ¡encienda en ella el fuego del Señor!
In-Person and Virtual Participation
As with most things these days, NCYC will look a bit different this year. Therefore, we want to learn more about your plans for NCYC…
To help us plan, we’re putting out an RSVP to see how people expect to participate in the 2021 NCYC—either in-person, or virtually. Based on current restrictions, we are limited to approximately 10,000 in-person attendees. Understanding demand and where people are planning on traveling from will help us figure out logistics.
Also, we’ve updated pricing for virtual tickets and discounted rates per person, based on group size. View updated pricing here.

Areas that we are exploring include, but are not limited to:
- Required Masks & Social Distancing
- Limited Session Capacity & Participant Groupings
- Designated Areas for Food & Beverage Consumption
- Sanitizing Stations & Periodic Cleaning of Frequently Touched Surfaces
- No Facility Access for Those Experiencing Symptoms of COVID-19
