Youth and young adults

Launch events early in the year

We want to build excitement and momentum for the upcoming year. They aim to benefit youth ministries, allowing young people and youth leaders to grow their connections with one another. Our aim is to create an environment that youth and young adults want to attend and invite their friends to, perhaps for the first time.

Our events model is best practice, high-quality and first-class in their application. During these events, young people can hear the Good News about Jesus and experience family and faith in a fun atmosphere. 

These events help build momentum for youth ministries and upcoming events later in the year.

Building momentum in each state

Encounter Jesus, make new friends and worship God in a tailored and safe environment. We pray that young people will leave these camps knowing they are loved, important, and that they belong. 

These events are integral to developing young people and leaders, and aim to strengthen youth ministries by building on the skills and experience of our leaders. 

We invest in younger youth leaders to allow them to better invest in the young people they lead. Encounter a variety of individuals with various skillsets and experience. We want to embrace everyone and work as a team to serve young people across Australia better.
