Northcote Baptist Church offers a wide range of activities for youth of all ages. If you’re simply looking for something fun and exciting to do on a Saturday night, or you would like to explore deeper and tackle some bible study, we encourage you to come along to one of our youth events. It’s a great way to meet new people and make awesome new friends. All are welcome!
Check out the list of NBC youth-related groups/activities below, and if you would like more information feel free to contact Dale, 021 407 205 or dale@nbc.org.nz.
Youth Group
Saturday Night Youth Group is Saturday nights from 7-10 pm, we normally meet at the church.
These include all sorts of crazy stuff that we can think up. The aim is to have fun and build relationships. Friends are always invited too, so come with your mates. These nights are always well supervised by our Youth Group Committee of dedicated senior young people, and of course NO alcohol/smoking allowed.
B.A.N.G. (Bible Analysis Night Group!) happens about once per term, 7.00 pm in the Youth Hall. At B.A.N.G., there are fun games and videos, challenges, discussion and kids are inspired and challenged by a short talk.
Home Groups
Home Groups are weekly or fortnightly, bible based, fellowship groups that meet predominantly in homes (some in the church campus – 69 eban ave). A home group is a small community of people supporting each other in living authentic Christian lives. It provides an environment where close relationships and a deeper sense of belonging can be developed.
Small groups are often a gathering of people of similar ages or stages in life, or similar interests. Some are held in the evening, others during the day. Each group has its own leader(s), and the focus/study or activity of the group may vary.
To find out about a home group that you can join, contact Dale (dale@nbc.org.nz).
Youth Camps
Several camps happen throughout the NBC year (Family Camp, Sports Camp, etc.) and you’ll want to attend at least one. There is Motutapu Easter Camp (which combines with other churches), Youth Camp (fun, food, games and learning) and a couple of sports camps which we send teams to.
Someone to talk to
We know it is not always easy being a teenager these days and that us why we have friendly pastors, home group leaders and peers (Ears for Peers) who would be happy to help. Contact the Dale for details (021.407.205 or email dale@nbc.org.nz).
