National Youth Camp is organised by the youth of the Free Reformed Churches of Australia [FRCA]. The FRCA is a federation of churches with historical and theological roots in continental Europe, going back to the sixteenth century Reformation, whose aim it was to restore the church to the Biblical, Christian faith of the early church. Our focus is on Biblical and Christ-centred preaching, teaching, and outreach; covenantal and sacramental worship of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; and holy living as a sacrifice of praise to our God for all his goodness and grace.

​

With the Church of Jesus Christ of all times and places we are united in the one true Christian faith. This faith is firmly based on the Word of God, the Bible. Throughout the church’s history, however, it has been found necessary to defend and promote the truth of God’s Word through creeds and confessions. Along with nearly all Christian churches, we willingly receive the creeds that have come to us from the first centuries of the early Church, the Apostles Creed, Nicene Creed and Athanasian Creed.

​

Further, as a Reformed Church, we also express the unity of faith as it is confessed in the Belgic Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism and the Canons of Dort. The creeds and confessions of the church are not the Word of God themselves, but we hold them to be faithful summaries of God’s Word and as such they assist us in our faith and life.

​

Through the prayers and support of the Communion of Saints, the NYC committee works to promote and guide the youth in their walk with Christ, being a light in the world and uniting together as believers to bring glory and honour to God, our Lord and King.
