ABOUT TRIENNIUM

Welcome to the Presbyterian Youth Triennium website. Even as you read this page we are preparing for PYT 2010 “For Such a Time as This”! As the event draws near you’ll find updates, important documents, schedules, and forms. Be sure to add this website to your favorites so you can visit frequently!

The Presbyterian Church (USA) and the Cumberland Presbyterian Churches are centered around the life, teaching, and worship of God as lived by Jesus Christ. This includes the daily invitation to all of us to pray, serve, and “Go into the world!” For young people it helps to spend dedicated time discerning what these invitations mean, what they look like, and how they connect to their individual lives. At the Presbyterian Youth Triennium, through the presentations, the studies, recreational events and free time we strive to connect youth and adults with activities that inspire them to be alert, be active and seek ways to connect their lives with their growing faith. We believe that young people are prime carriers of the hope Christians are called to possess. And we believe that the Triennium is the perfect place to generate substantial energy and action on behalf of our Lord, Jesus Christ! The event is planned around a central theme. Each day there is a sub-theme and supporting scriptures, speakers, conversations and mission opportunities. It is our goal to offer an experience that provides youth with the opportunity to explore their faith and their faith practices alongside those of the past and present faith communities.
