host city - iyc 2027

Welcome to
Atlanta Gerogia, USA

Home to more than six million people, Atlanta, Georgia, is one of the largest and most accessible cities in the southeastern United States. Known for its Southern hospitality, rich civil rights history, and vibrant cultural scene, it offers plenty to explore before or after IYC 2027.

Our church campus is located in Carrollton, Georgia, 45 miles (72 km) from the Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)—one of the world’s busiest airports and a major gateway for international travelers.

The Carrollton church sits on a beautiful property featuring a sanctuary that accommodates approximately 550 people, along with dormitories that can host around 150 guests. The brethren are looking forward to welcoming young people from around the world for IYC 2027, and we hope you’ll make plans to join us.

Accommodation will be included in the registration for the first 150 guests, so keep an eye out for the e-mails on early registration. Once these spots have been taken, accommodations in nearby hotels will be available at an additional cost.

Transportation to and from the airport will be available on select dates and times only. These will be announced closer to the event.

If you have extra time during your visit, some of Atlanta’s most popular attractions include:

  • The Georgia Aquarium, one of the largest aquariums in the world.
  • Centennial Olympic Park, built for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games.
  • The Atlanta Botanical Garden, renowned for its beautiful seasonal displays.
