Come join your global family as we celebrate that
9-15 JUNE 2023 INDIANAPOLIS
On 19 September 2023, Nazarene Youth International will be 100 years old!
We are excited to start the celebration with our global family during the 25th Global NYI Convention, which will take place in June 2023.

The Global NYI Convention is a special time of inspiration, fellowship, connection, celebration, and decision-making to shape NYI’s vision for years to come. Over 1,600 delegates are elected in district NYI conventions around the world, and our commitment is to facilitate their participation at this global gathering.
In order to accommodate the various realities of our constituency around the globe, NYI’s Convention will be structured as a hybrid model:
- Part 1: 2-3 June 2023, online
- Part 2: 9-12 June 2023, online and in-person (Indianapolis, Indiana, USA)
Our hope is that this structure will allow the greatest number of people to take part in the fellowship and legislative proceedings of the Global NYI Convention. All delegates will be fully able to participate, whether they are participating virtually or in person. The overview of the tentative schedule for the Global NYI Convention is as follows:
