Youth Cell

Designed specifically for youth in High School. Youth experience worship as part of our 10:30 service and at an appropriate time, move to another setting to engage in age-appropriate bible teaching, discussion and prayer. They learn from the Bible and how to have a relationship with Jesus while having fun developing friendships with one another.

Safe Ministry with Children Policy

Our team of dedicated leaders are all blue card holders and must abide by the Policies and Codes of Conduct for working with Children. They are accredited in Safe Ministry with Children to lead your children in the safest possible way. This training is renewed by attendance at refresher courses every 2 years.
