Who are the faces behind the HBBC Youth team? Meet the leaders who are passionate about
sharing God’s love with teenagers on Friday nights.

A team of fifteen plus people, we facilitate a Christ-centred community where kids can connect
with others, encounter Jesus and grow in their faith through devotionals, small groups and games. As leaders, we work together to make this happen under the leadership of our Youth Director, Josh Faint.

This term, our devotionals and small groups are focusing on real life issues requested by our
youth. We’ve covered anxiety + stress, friends, peer pressure and sharing your faith. Our hope is that the youth will be encouraged and challenged in a safe, Christian environment - so they can take what they have learned and apply it to their lives. It has been very rewarding as youth leaders seeing the kids ask questions and give thoughtful answers in small group discussions.

A recent highlight was witnessing four of our senior youth being baptised and sharing the impact Jesus has in their lives. Another highlight this term was seeing our senior youth welcoming our new grade 6 kids - who are transitioning from Kids Club to Youth Group. It is inspiring to see how God is working in their lives and how they are living out their faith.

Now, it wouldn’t be youth group without tons of fun! We plan a few themed nights each term,
solely for big activities such as Amazing Race, Leaders vs. Youth and most recently Mini Golf.
These activities help form and strengthen friendships between youth as well as leaders.

It is an honour to be part of such a great bunch of youth leaders and serve our church’s younger generation. We appreciate your prayers over this ministry and ask that you please continue to pray for our youth.

We’d love for you to join our team! Right now, we have a shortage of female youth leaders so if
this has been on your mind, here is your sign to get in touch! If you’d like to learn more, contact
Josh Faint by emailing josh@hbbc.com.au
