    GET INVOLVED

    There's always plenty going on! Below you'll find some of the things we are involved with. Our aim is that through these programmes we would equip children, young people and adults for a lifetime of following Jesus. Please get in touch if you'd like to get involved.

    YOUTH GROUPS

    Youth groups are a place where young people can meet together to grow and encourage each other as disciples of Christ. "Youth group" is for Years 10-13 and meets fortnightly on Friday nights. "12:One groups" are for Year 13+ and meet weekly on various nights.  Both these youth groups meet for Bible study, service and fun activities.

    ​

    CATO

    Short for catechism, it is a Bible class for young adults. Younger groups spend a year in each of the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. Older groups progress into tackling questions about the doctrine, how we can better know God and how we can follow Christ in a rapidly changing society.

    GLOBAL MISSIONS

    The Overseas Mission Committee has been established to help inform, educate and inspire the church about our missionaries serving in various countries around the world, such as Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, South Sudan, Asia, Australia and others.
     
    We also aim to be a strongly supportive team for those individuals and groups who have a passion for serving on short-term missions, and we help enable them to do this.
