Challenge Youth Conference (CYC) — Organization Profile
Challenge Youth Conference (CYC) is a large youth-focused Bible conference planned and directed by members of churches of Christ. CYC describes its purpose as helping teens focus on the positivity of living for Jesus Christ and navigating the challenges of growing up in a culture that often conflicts with faithful Christian living. It is designed primarily for teenage students who attend with church youth groups, youth ministers, parents, and adult chaperones.
CYC typically operates in two primary geographic settings—Dallas, Texas and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee—drawing groups from across the United States. The conference is structured around large-group worship and keynote-style Bible teaching, supported by additional class and learning options that help churches bring students for a concentrated time of Scripture, encouragement, and shared spiritual focus.
In addition to the in-person gathering, CYC maintains a growing library of teaching resources. Through its “CYC Resources” area and its official YouTube presence, CYC makes past conference content and video class materials available for continued use by individuals, families, and youth ministries. This extends the conference’s impact beyond a single weekend and gives youth leaders practical tools for follow-up study and discussion back home.
CYC also highlights pathways for student development and support. One example is its scholarship initiative, which provides a way for eligible high school seniors to apply for scholarship opportunities connected with the conference and its sponsoring universities. CYC also promotes additional ministry-adjacent programming through its website, including Transform Ladies Conference (TLC), reflecting an effort to provide equipping and encouragement for multiple audiences.
Churches and families can engage with CYC by registering groups through its official event registration portal, preparing students for a spiritually focused experience, and using the available media resources to support ongoing discipleship. Sponsors and partner schools can also connect through the sponsors page, and churches can stay informed through official communication channels and social platforms.
