EPIC meets Friday nights
Filed under EPIC Youth
(school years 7-10)
Our Friday night program called “Epic” runs from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. Epic includes lots of games, talks, a youth band and supper and is a great night to bring friends along. Download this term’s program.
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.
For more information about these activities, fill in the online connect card or give me a call (Clayton) on 02 6254 6565.
Young Adults (18 – 25 year olds)
Filed under Young Adults
So what is Young Adults about?
In a word: RELATIONSHIPS.
God is a God of love and what He treasures above all else is relationships.
So what Young Adults 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
Young Adults 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 Young Adults 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.
Young Adult Seminars
Young Adult 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 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.

Merge is a Tuesday night youth programme for people in years 11-13, with the main aim of bringing young people together to have fun, build relationships and explore various aspects of life and faith.
The leaders in Merge are passionate about coming alongside youth within this age group to build relationships and support them as they journey through one of the most exciting and challenging times in their life. We like to tackle all the big issues for youth, whether they’ve grown up in the church, or they’re just curious to explore faith, spirituality or Christian world views and concepts. We are always excited to have new faces join us and we would love to see you there!!
Please feel free to contact me at any time if you would like any information about Merge or if you simply want to have a chat.
I look forward to having the opportunity to get to know you this year and to support you in your journey.
