MC Canada Nationwide Youth Gathering scheduled for July 2-5, 2025 at Conrad Grebel University College in Waterloo, ON.

“I am excited to embark on this journey with our youth,” says Audrey Wichert, coordinator for the event. “I believe the youth are the heartbeat of our church, and this gathering will be a powerful opportunity for them to connect deeply with each other and with God.”

The youth gathering holds a special place in Mennonite Church Canada’s tradition, offering youth aged 12-18 from across the country a time of learning, worship, fun and service. This year’s Youth Gathering will match the energy and excitement of Amplify (2022), Shake (2019), and Fat Calf (2013).

"Youth Leaders, mark your calendars and start your own preparations as we anticipate gathering in Waterloo,” Audrey adds. Congregations can expect more information soon, including details on the theme, costs, and other important logistics to assist youth groups in planning their attendance.
