Reflections on Youth Gatherings - Stephen Kennedy
20 years ago I signed up for my first Youth Retreat. I was an awkward teen, equal parts excited and wracked with nerves. Yet, I still went for it, and it became the catalyst that brought me to faith.

Every three years our nationwide community of faith gathers together, hosted by one of our regional churches (this year by MCEC - watch welcome video below), for a time of relationship-building, discernment, business, and worship. These events are called 'Gatherings' (formerly 'Assemblies'). The last one was in 2022 in Edmonton, AB.
Track 1: Main Gathering: Join delegates and congregational representatives for inspiring sessions, worship, and connection.
Track 2: U30 Young Adults: Participate in the main Gathering with tailored events to engage with peers PLUS a special post-Gathering celebration at Hidden Acres!
Track 3: Youth Gathering: A vibrant, energetic event designed specifically for youth (Grades 6-12), hosted on the University of Waterloo campus.
