Here at Nativity we are passionate about developing young people into the fullness of their potential in God, and in life!

​For this reason, Nativity Youth is made up of small groups of belonging. These groups have developed out of the needs of the youth we have, and what will suit their growth.

​The vision is to continue developing spaces of belonging so that more young people can take part in the greatest adventure of their lives. If you are an adult with a desire to start a different kind of youth small group, please feel free to speak with me. If you are a young person who isn’t sure that they fit with these groups, we encourage you to reach out.

All our groups gather together regularly for youth events during the term, and camps or conferences during the holidays. These are spaces they can bond together, and feel comfortable bringing friends along.

​Please contact us about the next youth event on our calendar!

Jesus chose unlikely people to further his Kingdom, and he has also chosen YOU!
Our high school boys’ group meet with a number of role models weekly to participate in activities, projects, and events that are lots of fun, build key life skills and contribute to the community.

​ We walk the discipleship journey relationally by connecting with those who might be further along in the journey, and connecting all we do with God’s Word. ​

In the Gallery, we explore lots of different artistic expressions.

​This high school girls’ group is about exploring the masterpiece God made of each one of us, and exploring different creative methods of engaging with Scripture and in relationship with God.

We drink tea, laugh a lot, and get real about doing life with Jesus. 

This new small group is about taking a close look at the foundations of a Christian faith, and how to walk with God with our best foot forward.

​We ask all the hard questions, and enjoy a coffee and a catch up together. 

We celebrate young people as valued members of our parish.
​
For this reason we have a youth space in the service on a rotation.

• The youth join for the family service once a month.
• The following week is a bible study.
• This is followed by a week serving our church community.
• The last week of the month is focused on fun!

​The aim is to integrate our youth as part of the Church, while also creating an appropriate space for belonging.
