Youth Ministry

LIFE's youth ministry for school years 7-13.

Epic Yth is all about building a generation that knows they’re loved, seen, and called for more. We’re here to create a space where every young person can belong just as they are, discover a real and personal relationship with Jesus, and be empowered to live with purpose.

Youth Gatherings on Thursdays

Years 9-13

An evening programme for high school young people (12-17yr olds) who want to discover real friendships, grow in their faith, and be part of a fun and welcoming community.

Whether you’re exploring faith or already following Jesus, these nights are designed for you to grow, belong, and be known. With powerful moments of worship and empowering messages, you’ll find a community that feels like home.

EPIC Thursdays are on every Thursday night from 6:30pm - 8:45pm across our Campuses.

Youth Service on Sundays

Years 7-10

Our youth programme runs in parallel to our main auditorium service on Sunday mornings across our Campuses.

It’s a space where young people can build meaningful friendships, deepen their relationship with God, and have a whole lot of fun while doing it. We’re passionate about helping every young person know they matter and have a place to belong.
