This event, which will also take place at the Courtyard Marriott on Friday evening and Saturday morning, April 23-24, will feature fun activities, moving worship, and the opportunity to fellowship with other Christian youth from across our state.
 
We will also be conducting our state youth competition during this event! The following is a tentative schedule of events for the MSYC:
 
 
FRIDAY EVENING:
6:30 - 8:00 – Worship Service

IMPORTANT NOTICE for Competitors:
 
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: March 15, 2021

Be sure to get an UP TO DATE Guidelines Book and Bible Study Pack CD.  

The state level will accept registrants directly from the churches rather than a district level competition. We still desire for the individual churches to send their first place competitors in all music and arts.   However, we will now allow 1st and 2nd place competitors in all Bible competitions. The NYC allows us to send 1st in 2nd place competitors for all Bible competitions INCLUDING Memorization. However, a score of 50% is required for TEAM Bible Competitors to Advance to NYC per the MS CE Board. They only allow us to send 1st place for all music & arts categories.

 
Creative Writing (Category 8) entries are to be sent with a digital copy of the CTS Ministry Expo Event Entry Form the appropriate fees directly to CTS@verticalthree.com as described in the Guidelines Book on pages 48-50. 
 

There are several updates to the guidelines this year.
