GYC 2003—Higher Than the Highest

“...I will make you an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.” Isaiah 60:15

GYC 2003 is now a memory, but the excitement lives on! Over 800 young people gathered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for the second annual conference, December 17-21. They came from across North America and several other countries: South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong, Philippines, Japan, New Zeeland, Australia, Mexico, and Canada. They were an army of young people training for service.

GYC 2003 inspired each of us to reach “Higher than the Highest” in our academic, spiritual, and professional lives. It challenged us to give God our best and to surrender our lives completely to Him. It called us to share the distinctive message of Adventism with the world. It changed our lives forever.


Even if you were not at GYC 2003 you can still experience the blessings. There are many memories of the conference on this site. Enjoy them and plan to join us for the next GYC conference.
