Nazarene Youth International

"Nazarene Youth International exists to attract, equip, and empower young people for service in the kingdom of God and to facilitate their integration into the Church of the Nazarene." The Eastern Kentucky District NYI joins in that mission, as we reach out to the teens and leaders across the district. Christ is the central of who we are, the word of God is our authoritative source for all we do, and holiness is our pattern for life. Being a part of the EKD NYI is a life changing experience for both students and adults What better way to grow in our relationship with Christ than with our fellow friends from our district! Our NYI team strives to help students find that identity in Christ and Christ alone! Our students are inspiring, as they lift each other up and grow together in this time of life, a time of finding their identity and who they are. 

Please follow up with us on our social media accounts!

  • Speaker: Ked Frank from Refuge for Women
  • Theme: We will be focusing on Human Trafficking during our retreat this year, and learning about what that means and what it means for us as Christ followers and how God can use us to affect those in human trafficking and how the Nazarene church is affecting those in human trafficking. We will be taking donations for Nazarene Compassionate Ministries during retreat, as well as presenting Refuge for Women funds to help continue their safe house ministry in Kentucky.
  • Information on Refuge for Women: http://www.refugeforwomen.org/
  • Address: 409 Master St, Corbin, KY 40701

We understand that this is a topic that may not always be focused on at a teen event. As an NYI council and District we agree together though that this is important information, and that we can make a difference to those stuck in their situations! We encourage you to have your teens come, and adult leaders come as we all learn and grow together in our knowledge on how God is moving in the lives of those being rescued from Human Trafficking, and how we can be a part of His movement. We look forward to partnering with you all, EKD NMI, Nazarene Compassionate Ministries, and Refuge for Women!

Isaiah 58:6 - “No, this is the kind of fasting I want: Free those who are wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the oppressed go free,
                      and remove the chains that bind people."
