Starpoint Reformed Youth Festival: A Story from Hungary
Szabina Sztojka and Rev. Balázs Ódor
Starpoint Reformed Youth Festival - the best place for young adults to meet, play, discuss, worship God and hear good music! A community of more than 3,700 participants!
Starpoint is a place where young Reformed Christians meet and where participants learn what keeps the church in motion, what fills it with energy. Here, the youth of the Carpathian Basin can experience what it means to live in a community based on our faith in God. Starpoint is always a message-focused spiritual event. Although it may seem like a festival, it is not designed to crowd out other festivals.
Starpoint is a religious event organized by the church; one aspect of the Reformed Church of Hungary's youth work. It aims to show that despite all rumors there is life inside the church. There is a community that is inclusive and not exclusive, which accepts and does not reject, and which appreciates and inspires you.
As an open youth event, Starpoint aims to present the diversity of the Reformed Church. Preceding the festival, preparatory work is open for anyone who would like to offer help. It is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen one's faith in the course of cultural and community-building events where young people can choose from a large selection of educational and training programs. It is an experience that will enrich every participant's life at home, in their workplaces or in the congregations they serve.
