Teen Church (years 7-9)
8.30am & 10.30am Sundays
Teens from years 7-9 meet on Sunday mornings during the services. We typically start with a fun game or activity before moving to a time of bible study and prayer. This is a great opportunity for teens to deepen their relationship with God and each another.
Please note: this group does not run during the school holidays.
Church@5
5pm Sundays
Our evening service is a little more laid back than morning church but we still do the same things and hear the same talk that was given in the morning. Many young adults, teenagers, uni-students and shift-workers come along to this service, as well as people of all ages who just prefer to be part of church in the evening. Everyone is welcome.
Rather than leaving straight after the service, we like to hang around and chat over supper. This is a great opportunity to catch up and get to know each other better.
Please note: there is no Creche or Kids Church during Church@5
