The New York City Church of Christ Youth & Family Ministry is excited to announce that the theme of our 2026 TEEN CAMP will be “LEVEL UP.” Inspired by the world of gaming, where players progress through levels, face challenges, and grow stronger with every stage, this year’s theme taps into a journey every teen can relate to. In games, no one stays at level one forever; growth is required to advance. There are obstacles to overcome, skills to develop, and perseverance needed to reach the ultimate goal. In the same way, our walk with God was never meant to stay stagnant. Each level brings new opportunities to grow, stretch, and become more like Christ. 2 Peter 1:5–7 says: “For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.” Scripture reminds us that faith is just the beginning. God calls us to build, layer by layer, adding qualities that strengthen our character and deepen our relationship with Him. Our goal at the 2026 “LEVEL UP” Teen Camp is to challenge our teens not to settle for the status quo, but to rise higher. To embrace the process of growth. To push through trials. And to pursue a life that reflects Jesus more and more each day. Join us for a week of faith, growth, and transformation as we LEVEL UP together. 🎮✨
