Christian Youth Channel - CYC Live Stream

Christian Youth Channel - CYC - is the English-language television channel of the Coptic Orthodox Church: the first and only Coptic Orthodox channel in English, dedicated to young people around the world and carrying the church's liturgy, teaching and community life to a global audience. Broadcasting around the clock from the heartlands of the Coptic diaspora, its live channel also streams in high definition online.

The mission statement is the channel's own: to spread the teachings and love of Jesus Christ to an audience that spans continents - the youth of one of Christianity's oldest churches, speaking the language of the countries they live in.

The Liturgy on Screen

The heart of the schedule is the Divine Liturgy: live broadcasts of Coptic services from churches across the diaspora - Canada, the United States and beyond - carrying the liturgy of St. Basil and the Coptic rites to viewers far from the churches they grew up in. Around the liturgies run the rhythms of the Coptic calendar: hymns and liturgical music, the fasting seasons and feasts, teaching programs and Bible studies that make the ancient tradition accessible in English, and coverage of church conventions, youth gatherings and the events that knit the global Coptic community together.

Youth and the Diaspora

CYC exists for a specific audience: young Copts in North America, Europe, Australia and the church's Egyptian heartland, for whom English is often the first language and the faith the inheritance. The channel's discussion programs, youth features and testimony shows are built for that generation - programming that treats questions of faith, identity and community seriously, in the voice of the young people it serves. The result is a rare thing: a channel where an ancient church speaks in a modern tongue, to the generation charged with carrying it forward.

The Channel Around the Clock

The live stream runs twenty-four hours a day in high definition, fed by the channel's own studio operation and the network of Coptic churches that contribute services and programs. Social channels, video archives and the live player keep the whole operation within reach of any screen, and the community's support keeps it on air - a youth channel with a two-thousand-year institution behind it, broadcasting the liturgy and the life of the Coptic Church to the ends of the diaspora.
