Preparing Youth to Share the Gospel Boldly

  1. LEADERS: CYIA is an intensive training program that creates new Christian leaders, equipping them with leadership skills that apply to all areas of life.
  2. GROW: Spiritual growth flourishes when faith is challenged, and CYIA provides a safe environment for students to be stretched and explore their faith in powerful ways.
  3. TRAIN & EQUIP: The CYIA training, filled with classes, coaching, small group discussions, and practicums, equips students by the end of the week to confidently share the Gospel during a Summer GNC (Good News Club).
  4. GOSPEL: CYIA begins and ends with the Gospel, as each track explores it uniquely from the first day of classes, preparing every student to share the Gospel during their summer.

Parent Endorsement for CYIA Camp - Rachel

I’m Rachel, a CYIA parent, and I’m so thankful for the CYIA program. My son joined a few years ago, and it’s been one of the best decisions for his growth in faith and leadership. He looks forward to it every year and applies what he learns by confidently sharing the Gospel. As a parent, I’ve loved seeing him live out his faith. I highly recommend CYIA to any parent who wants to see their kids grow in their walk with God and be part of the Great Commission.

CYIA was life-changing. I found healing, made deep connections, and saw God move in powerful ways. I’m so thankful for the leaders—especially Ms. Rosalie—and can’t wait to come back!

This year at CYIA, I truly felt God’s presence like never before. I realized I hadn’t fully surrendered to Him, but when I put Him first, He revealed Himself to me. CYIA showed me what it means to make God #1—and it was life-changing and so much fun!

I’m amazed at how God is using CYIA to equip student leaders to boldly share the Gospel with kids and youth across Chicagoland. It’s a powerful movement, and I fully support their mission!
