“Lord, it is good that we are here.“

-Mt 17:4

It is good that we are here! CYE exists because reality is good. “Welcome to the real world” has a bad reputation. But it’s the real world that God created, the real world that He redeemed, the real world that He is present in: alive, loving, close. CYE seeks to live in the joy of reality, the joy of being loved by God. Faith doesn’t need to be marketed or sold. It doesn’t need to be cushioned with cheap answers or all the answers. It gives us God and He is enough. It is good in all its simplicity. CYE seeks to help young people encounter Christ and the Church in all its simplicity and discover that, in truth, “It is good that we are here.” Come because you want to. Come because you desire God. Come because He desires you. Welcome to the real world…it’s actually a place you want to be!
