This discipleship program has taught our teens basic skills; such as how to do oil changes on a car, basic first aid, self defense and cooking; along with the A to Z of Biblical truths.
Once a year during school term 3 the ‘Skills for Life’ is merged with a competition that lasts the duration of the school term. Teens earn points for attendance, memory verses, sermon notes, quizzes, acts of initiative and service and inviting friends. This competition is becoming more hotly contested as each year passes with the winner receiving a quality study Bible and an adventure of a lifetime![/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Teen Camp” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:27|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Playfair%20Display%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]Every year in April we join an inter-church teen camp at Forest Lakes camp near Otaki.

We have some wonderfully gifted and dedicated men and women who love to serve the Lord by teaching young ones the truths of Scripture and how to practically and personally walk with God.
We try to make it possible for every child to be able to hear about the great love of our Saviour. For this reason we have children’s ministries including transportation for those children who may not be able to come to church under their own steam.
