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. Come along and check us out!
ANNUAL EVENT
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.
Easter camp takes a lot of volunteers and funding to run, so there's no guarantee that we can attend this year. Ask your Youth Pastor for the latest updates.
