Port Macquarie Connect Youth is for high schoolers who want genuine connection, big fun, and a real faith that actually makes sense in everyday life. We believe teenagers aren’t the church of tomorrow - they’re the church of today - and we’re building a place where young people can find their people, have their identity formed, and discover purpose as we Gather, Grow, and Go together.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Every second Friday night we turn up the music, grab the pizza, and create space for young people to:
-
Make friends (like… real friends - “friends to their future”)
-
Experience worship in a way that’s vibrant and life-giving
-
Learn about Jesus in a relatable, real-world way
-
Laugh a lot and have stacks of fun
No pressure. No “you need to know all the answers.” Just a welcoming environment for youth who are already in church and youth who are brand new and curious about faith.Come with or without a Bible - you’re welcome either way.
