At Lakes Youth we aim to build up and encourage young people in their relationship with God and each other. We hang out, have fun and see what God’s Word says and the impact this has on our daily lives. We also have an annual Youth Camp where we get away from the hustle and bustle, grow in our friendships and dig deeper into the Word of God together. Attendance is free.

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.
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

Lakes Youth also runs Growth Groups for high schoolers called SALT (Sunday Afternoon Lakes Teens). This is an opportunity to dive deeper into God’s word in a small group context which is conducive to great discussion and fellowship.
Please note: these groups do not run in the school holidays.
For interested parents, there are Growth Groups meeting on Friday nights to coincide with our Youth groups. Drop your children off and connect with other parents for Bible study and prayer.
