The same message in a new form

It’s just past 7 pm, and even though there’s almost an hour before the evening’s program begins, youngsters from aged 13 years and over are already streaming into the main hall. They are early, much earlier than usual, because they want a good seat. What makes these teenagers sit still and wait?

BCC has made some major changes in recent years, and one of them is a focus on the youth within the church. Our Christian faith and the doctrine of the church are conveyed in new ways and with simple words that even the youngest youth can understand. Events for the same target group are planned several times a year.

<h3>Prioritizing the young people gives results</h3>
<p>In the Easter of 2018, 4,500 youth from all over the world gathered for activities and Christian messages at the BCC youth camp. One of the highlights of the evening events was “iFront Live”, a television program for youth sent directly from the main hall. Round two of the same program is happening during the summer conference now.</p>
<p>This is what the young people have been looking forward to. At 8 pm, almost 3,000 young people have logged in to the app being used tonight, which has four main languages: Norwegian, English, German and Dutch.</p>
<h3>Competition questions create afterthoughts</h3>
