Evolve is an annual gathering of BC Conference United Church Youth, Young Adults and Leaders
to form community, explore our faith and have fun!
This year’s Evolve will find all ages: Junior Youth (grade 7-9), Senior Youth (grade 10-12), Young Adults (18-25), Youth Leaders and Elders all gathered together at one event. Planning for the event is underway and we are all very excited!

The World Needs your True Self. Our world is in great need of hope, inspiration, the passion of people willing to share their gifts and change things. Finding our true selves in a world full of false selves can be tough. Our true selves are the ones created by God who transforms and works with us in the world. When we live from our true selves we feel alive, we have energy, we are peaceful and inspired to share what we have and are with others. God calls us to do that. When we are young we are figuring out who it is we are and how we want to be in the world. This will be a time to pay some attention to ourselves, our place in the world and our hopes and gifts to share. We are not alone as we remember and live out who we are. In Isaiah 43 we are reminded: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. Because you are precious in my sight, and honored, and I love you #evolvetrueself
This year at Evolve our Clubhouses and whole group evening sessions will explore more about this theme. We are planning on an Arts Challenge, a chance for all of us to form into groups working with a form of art (writen word, spoken word, visual art, drama, music, etc) and creating together a way to express the theme and the words: The World Needs your true self. We’ll also have a True Self Costume Dance Party, so we encourage you to come dressed as you are, who you want to be, who your true self really is. Get creative and inspire us all!
