We usually meet on Sunday mornings and some Friday evenings. We have about 15 young people attending the group regularly. We seek to bring to life an active faith in Jesus and his teaching for life. Sundays often focuses on important issues for young people e.g. Overcoming anxiety, relationships an understanding who l am. While Fridays is more focused on social activities, fun, food and games. Both times give opportunity for young people to speak to us about anything they find challenging or need help with. We also continue to focus on activities that bring us together and get the group to know each other better. Activities include things like ice skating, laser tag etc. This has been beneficial as friendships have been made and barriers broken down.

We seek to teach the children about the Christian faith. We do this through activities, presentations, videos, object lessons and games. Numbers are increasing as more families from the neighborhood are added to the church. The number of children each week was ranges from 15 to 24. We are presently recruiting more team members to cope with the increased volume of children. Ignite Fun Day This year we introduced our Ignite Fun Days. This is a day during the school holidays, when our children can get together to have some fun and focus on a topic, for example God's Love. We play games, do craft activities, eat together and generally have a good time.
