NEW TO BPYC?

Each Summer, hundreds of students gather for a week in Barbourville, Kentucky to seek an encounter with God. Founded by a few independent Appalachian Pentecostal preachers in 1959, the mission of BPYC is to reach out to students age 11-18, providing a place of fellowship and growth where we can connect with God, with each other, with churches, and the community.

Vision Statement

We envision campers seeing Christ as the answer, getting an opportunity to know Him better through church services, worship, small groups, and activities. Students are to love God and each other as Christ has loved us, and to impact those around them with His love.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to reach out to campers age 11-18, providing a place of fellowship and growth where we can connect with God, with each other, with churches, and the community.

We exist to equip young people to develop a deeper relationship with other Christians, and empower life-changing relationships with non-believers.

We believe that the experience that a campers, counselor, volunteer, and staff receives during the week of Barbourville Pentecostal Youth Camp will send them home as exceptional, Godly men and women of integrity who will transform their homes, their schools, their churches, their workplaces, and their world for Christ.

Barbourville Pentecostal Youth Camp is an engaging and welcoming community for its youth and workers.
