Epic Youth Ministry

(school years 7-10)

EPIC Youth program available here

youthinaction 6kb colThere 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:

  1. Connecting to God
  2. Connecting to one another
  3. 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.
