We are back in person!
The most important thing we do at Youth Group is learn about Jesus and help young people grow in their faith. We want to do that in the most fun and exciting way possible. We hang out, play some awesome games, listen to talks from the bible and think about it in small groups, pray for each other and go on great outings. Our leaders run 2 camps a year for the whole youth group, and we take youth in years 9-12 on a weekend conference called KYCK in April each year.
Youth group is on Friday nights during public school term time on site at St Marks. All youth need to register before or on their first night of Youth Group.

Parents may text their children to come out, or parents may come to the door of the church and a youth leader will collect their child.

KYCK is a conference for high schoolers. Over 4 huge weekends in the Blue Mountains, over 6,000 youth gather to hear God speak in His Word. We attend this weekend conference over the April School Holidays.

SUNDAY CHURCH
DJ’s -10am
(Discovering Jesus) – is for our youth in years 7-8 who still come to morning church.
The youth meet their leaders in the foyer at 10am, then head off to their program. They spend time getting to know each other, learning about our great God and having a great opportunity to ask questions and explore their own faith.
