News and Events coming soon.

The Evangelical Christian Youth (ECY) Department exists to promote and develop dynamic youth ministries among our churches. The goal of the ECY Department is to assist students and youth leaders with the resources and experiences in ministry that will develop the individual into a fully committed and devoted follower of Jesus Christ and to assist leaders in attaining that goal for their students.

Each summer the NED ECY hosts a week-long camp experience for elementary, junior high, and high school students. Thousands of lives have been impacted through this ministry. The camp is hosted at Lily Lake Camp, nestled in the foothills of beautiful upstate New York's Adirondack Mountains. Other events for fellowship, evangelism, and training are held at various churches throughout the year.

ECY in the Northeast District is led by the NED ECY Board. It is comprised of six leaders from across the district, including youth leaders, pastors, and ministry volunteers.

For more information about our ministry to students, visit the ECY website or contact the General ECY Office by phone at 740-474-8856 or email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

52 Million people are represented in the Northeast District. This is 16% of America's population. These are 52 million people who may be introduced to Jesus Christ, through the churches and the people of the Northeast District. The harvest truly is great, and ready. Beautiful mountains, bustling cities, and the shores of the Atlantic dot the landscape of our area.

The Northeast District is a missional district devoted to developing and multiplying healthy churches that fulfill the Great commandment and the Great commission in their communities and around the world. We are a family of 21 congregations located in Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Our churches are located in our major cities, towns, villages and country side. They vary in size, age, worship style, and provide a wide range of ministries. What binds us together is an unwavering commitment to reaching the lost.

It is our firm conviction that God wants to see the Northeast District grow. While we are considering multiple opportunities in a variety of communities, God is calling us to the city and we are going! We currently have church plants in both New York City and Boston, Massachusetss. If God stirs your heart to enlist with a team sold out to the mission of Christ's kingdom join us in the greatest of all adventures.

We invite you to tour our site and we hope you'll find out everything you need to know about us. Please note that some areas are still under construction. Our desire is to have an interactive, inspirational and informative site that will be useful to you. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to conact us.

Rev. Frank Skies, District Superintendent

Growing up in the Catholic Church on the north side of Endicott, NY, I knew what Jesus Christ did for me. What I did not know, He desired to live in my heart, forgive me of my sins, and continue to live for him in a personal relationship. I thank God for the life- journey of faith that He has placed me on. The Northeast District of the Churches of Christ in Christian Union and the Endwell church played a very important part in my life. Accepting Christ as my personal Savior, being ordained (both at Lily Lake camp), pastoring and now having the privilege to serve as District Superintendent are among many of those blessings.

I am a graduate of Maine-Endwell High School, Ohio Christian University, and Mount Vernon Nazarene University.

I am blessed beyond measure, and I give all praise to God for how He has worked in my life.

I am married to my lovely and talented wife Kaye. We have two children. Our daughter Kari and her husband Frank live in Texas. Our son Joshua and his wife Christy live in Ohio. We are also blessed with five grandchildren.

Matt. 6:33 "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you". 

Seek Him with all your heart!
