Youth ministry @ BBC
Our Youth Ministry exists to...
- Cultivate our relationship with God
- Build community with each other
- Connect with the world we live in.
Our youth ministry caters for High
schoolers and for College aged youth. Our
High school program is for those Year 7-10 and our College program

Epic Youth Ministry
(school years 7-10)
EPIC Youth program available here
There
is a Friday Night Program called "Epic" from 7.00 - 9pm. Epic
includes lots of games, talks, youth band and supper and is a great
night to bring friends along. We have our own "my space" site
http://www.myspace.com/epicyouthbbc - Check it out.
On Sunday morning during the 10.30am service we run a small group
called 'Deeper'. Our small groups come together to discuss and learn
together from the Bible … sounds
deep? That’s why we call it ‘Deeper’. It's not
just about growing closer to God, it's also growing to know each
other. We also share breakfast together once a month and generally
have a great time.
College Ministry
(school years 10-12)
We understand that as we get older the demands on our time
increase. We also understand that it's not so much what you do that
counts (although we do great stuff), it's who you do it with that's
most important. We run events through the year that help to
Cultivate our relationship with God, build Community with
each other and Connect with the world we live in. We
encourage you to attend our Sunday PM service which is geared more
towards our youth and young adults.

Young Adults (YA's)
(18–25 year olds)
So what is YA's about? In a word: RELATIONSHIPS. God is a God of
love and what He treasures above all else is relationships. So what YA’s
set as our number one priority is connecting in the three most
important relationships we all have:
- Connecting to God
- Connecting to one another
- Connecting to people beyond the church
YA's is a thriving ministry of 18-25ish year olds who have a ton
of fun together while we seriously seek God and His plan for our
lives.
Young Adult activities
Small Groups
Small groups are at the heart of YA’s at BBC. Why? Because
significant life transformation happens primarily in the context
of small groups. Joining a small group will give you the
opportunity
to develop relationships at a deeper level, learn about God and
discover how to integrate faith and real life … plus we have
a lot of FUN!! No matter where you are coming from or what you are
about there will be a group of people willing to share the journey
of life with you.
When and Where: Small groups meet on a variety of nights
and there is even an early morning one. Most meet in homes where a
warm welcome is always given. A small group is usually made up of
6-15 people.
Social Activities
Social activities are held throughout the year for Young Adults.
Activities will be advertised through small groups and in the Bulletin.
YA Seminars
YA’s seminars and short courses are held periodically throughout
the year. We try to equip you in your faith and life to be all
that God has created you to be. It's a great way to connect with
others and be equipped to serve.
Sunday Night Services
As you enter our Sunday night service at 6.30pm, you’ll
find people who are friendly but not manic, who are spiritual but
not
obnoxious. You’ll find real people who know that we are all
on a spiritual journey, and who are willing to walk the
road together. After the service we catch up and get to know one
another better over supper.
Of course you're always very welcome to attend the Saturday
evening (5pm) and Sunday morning services (8:45 or 10:30am) but it's
on Sunday nights we've tried to make the service specially targeted
for the needs of Young Adults and it's here that you'll find most
people our age.
