What is "Youth"?

Our Youth Group is designed to provide a safe and welcoming space where rangatahi can be themselves and have fun while reflecting on their life journeys. We believe that teenagers should feel supported and empowered to lead in a community that promotes positive lifelong faith and growth. Our Youth Group is a fun mix of mess, laughter, and adventure.

Northern Easter Camp

Get excited, the highlight of the Youth calendar is back! This epic four-day event is filled with inspiring messages, amazing worship, awesome activities, competitive sports, and a whole lot of good times. We’ll sort your tents, meals, and transportation, so pack your bags, grab your mates, and get ready to have a blast.
