YDG is happening in 2025!
It's a not just a group - it's about who we are as young people - doing the journey of figuring out what it means for us to follow Jesus as we navigate the highs and lows of highschool, first jobs, sporting triumphs and snapchat.
We get together fortnightly on a Sunday from 5-7pm, in our natural environment (the couch :D ) where we dinner and chat about life ... this is often preceded by uno no mercy, gagaball, or nine square... and yeah we do some bible digging that often leads to many, many questions about who wrote what , and why, and how do we apply this in the world of Travis Scott... tiktok. Occasionally this breaks out in dramatic form (we do love our re-enactments) or sleepovers (movies don't watch themselves you know)...
So if you're entering into middle school, highschool or feel called to disciple those who are figuring themselves out... complete an enrolment form here .
For further information about Youth Discipleship - ask Jesse.
To cover food costs, we'd love a contribution of $25 per person per term for dinner ($60 for 3 or more participants from the same family). This can be paid via direct deposit or credit card online here. Please give your name and reason for payment.
