Source is the artsy-sounding name of our normal youth group for students aged 12-15 at Menai Baptist Church. Each Friday night at 7:30pm we get together in the Inaburra complex, and have an awesome time learning about the One who created us; Jesus Christ.
Every few weeks or so, we head out on the town, to do some cool activities, whether bowling, car rallies, ice skating, the beach... whatever it is, we all have a sick time!
Regular Friday nights include:
Games
Live worship from the Source Band
A message about the christian faith from one of the leaders or guest.
SOURCE Friday nights are going to be that special zone in your life where people know your name, leaders invest in your life and God works to change you.

F.N.T. (Friday Night Thing)
FNT is for people in Yr 11 and 12, designed for having fun, relaxing and developing relationships with each other and with God. This group is a cool and supportive community to become part of - with great friendship, time to 'hang out' and shake off your school stress. Newcomers are very welcome (test us out – come along!)
Wednesday nights - Meet weekly at the home of Jarad Grice (Bangor). Relaxed but thoughtful study together of what God has to say on just about everything - come out and make great Wednesday Night connections!
If you come at 5:30pm you get Fitness training.
If you come at 6:30pm you get Fed.
If you come at 7:15pm you get Fantastic Bible Study.
Finish time 9:00pm.
YOUR CHOICE.
Friday nights – Fornightly during the school term with the first night back coinciding with the first week back at school. Various locations for dinner, coffee and fun. Check out the programme on Facebook and join our Facebook Group. Grab some friends, and come hang out with us. Our team is psyched to invest in you, build real friendship, and bring the truth and grace of Jesus to you in ways that help. Have a look at what we have planned for Friday Nights this term by clicking here.
A healthy life, when you're at the tail end of your school career, involves connection with God and connection with your mates. F.N.T. is a great way to combine both.
Don’t forget to bring along your friends to these events, the more the merrier. We would love to have you along to learn more about being a Christian and living for God. We would also love to see you at church on Sunday night from 6.30pm at Inaburra School in the Media Centre.

If Source and F.N.T. are the "Big" gatherings of our youth community at Menai Baptist, the cell groups are the necessary "small" gatherings. Many students – of EVERY age – are invited to join a cell group with students their own age, because they need a focused and more intimate group to grow spiritually.
Group styles vary with preference and age-appropriateness considerations. Core activities in each group are study of the Christian Bible, prayer and group discussion of study material and life changes.
What we mean by this is:
Be directed by a leader in teaching & discussion of Christian living
Be trained in the habits and disciplines of a Christian's life
Make positive life changes in a supportive group setting
Additional mentoring by leader in spiritual disciplines and character
Times: These groups are arranged by consensus for times and venues suiting leaders and members. Many are mid-week early evening, a few run Sunday afternoon or early morning before school.
