Youth & Teens

Going through the teenage years is sure a journey! They are some of the most formative years of life where children transition into adulthood and it can be a lonely, confusing road at times in regard to both life and faith.

Our heart is to ensure that teenagers and families alike are not on the journey alone. We are here to pray, support and have fun along the way!

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
1 Timothy 4:12

Our programs are compliant with the Safe Church Framework and all of our leaders hold current Working With Children Checks.

JAM

JAM = Jesus. At. Mitcham. This is ultimately where we aim to create a space for young students at MBC to encounter Jesus and continue to explore who He is and how He is relevant to their lives. We seek to do this by building caring relationships with the kids and engaging them in different Bible centred games, activities and studies which are aimed specifically at their age level.

MBC Youth

MBC Youth creates an environment where year 6 – 12 students come together and build relationships with one another, the MBC Youth Leaders, and most importantly Jesus Christ. This is done by playing games together through different ‘themed’ nights, hanging out with each other in the lounge playing Xbox or basketball and soccer on the sports courts, hearing Christian devotions from the leaders, engaging in discussions about life and faith, and looking into what the Bible says about who Jesus is and how He is relevant to our lives today!

Prayer Groups

As well as encouraging all believers to be praying individually at all times, we greatly value every opportunity for corporate Prayer times. These take place on various days and times during the week.

State Youth Games

State Youth Games is a sport, art, and camping event like no other for youth and young adults across Victoria. You and your friends are invited to camp for the weekend, play sport in a welcoming environment suitable for all skill levels, and explore new ways of looking at life and faith in an inclusive and open Christian community.
