We are:
For the
Gospel
For the glory of God, the gospel of Jesus, and the growth of His people.
- Praising God
- Our primary concern in all things will be the glory of God and the praise of His name.
- Proclaiming Christ
- Central to this aim will be our desire to gather regularly to preach the Word of God faithfully and clearly, by which God will gather His people from all nations.
- Presenting each believer as mature in Christ
- Our hope is that together we will learn to live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, and being presented as mature in Christ.
We are:
Church family
We’re from all ages and backgrounds, but we’re united in our love for God and what he has done for us in Jesus.
We delight to see this community of people gathered together, sharing their lives and being changed by the Holy Spirit as we open the Bible.
We are:
For everyone
Kids & Families
YEC provide much-needed support to parents and carers in York through a variety of baby & toddler groups, parenting courses and social events to build friendships between families.
Community
We know how important a strong community is, and the difference it can make to everyday lives. YEC seek to do all we can to build and strengthen our local community, whether this be on our own or by parterning with others.
Students & Young People
York is a big student city and we love to welcome students. We believe that to provide students with a ‘home away from home’ while they are at university is incredibly important for their wellbeing and enjoyment of the university years.
Seniors
In an increasingly isolated society, providing friendship and community is one of the most important things we can do for the older generation. YEC is a family church and we love that we have members of all ages.
