Event Information

Who is CYC Ministries?

CYC Ministries is a non-profit organisation responsible for the running of 30+ camps and events each year including camps for children and youth, Melbourne-based events and leadership training & development. These are run across our 4 camp sites in Victoria, one of which is Forest Edge in Neerim East that will be host to the Forest Edge Music Festival. Whilst our Christian faith is at the core of what we do, CYC Ministries camps and events extend to children and youth from a diverse range of backgrounds and aim to provide exciting, fun and positive experiences for all the young people we encounter.

The Forest Edge Music Festival

The festival is an initiative of CYC Ministries that is being run with the help of an incredible volunteer team that form our committee. FEMF represents years of passion and vision as we have carefully worked towards establishing what promises to be a truly amazing festival. Many people have journeyed with us at CYC Ministries to see this become a reality and we are incredibly grateful for the help of volunteers and other ministries along the way. The vision is to see God's glory revealed through great music made by His people as well as through the amazing opportunities that the festival presents for the Gospel to be proclaimed.
