We are dedicated to nurturing, connecting with, encouraging, equipping and learning from young people as they live a life following Jesus. We do this by resourcing and training leaders in congregations, presbyteries and the wider Church and providing a range of ministries and programs led by people who care.
Children and youth are often thought of as the “church of tomorrow” but we believe they are the church of NOW.
Below are some of the children and youth focused activities and empower your child or teenager in their adventure of knowing God.
We believe in the local church and most, if not all, of our activities are centred in local congregations.
