Youth
work at PBC is focused on equipping young people and encouraging them to
get involved. Called Energy,
it is led by a team whose aim is to build friendships that will help young
people to grow in faith.
The team is led by Joe Smith as a Youth Worker, following the departure of Alan Leese who was PBC Youth Pastor for five years.
What
happens?
Sunday
On
a Sunday morning there is a youth meetings as part of the whole church
worship gathering. Sometimes we break into groups but it is all about fun,
chat, getting to know Jesus and building up friendships: with an informal,
fast-paced style and talks about developing a personal relationship with
God. Sometimes members of Energy are involved in services, leading
worship, music, drama or simply helping out.
Stuff
during the week
There
are midweek discussion groups and social events to help form friendships
and bind all the different activities together.
For
example the Genesis small group is for years 7-9 and the Revelation small
group is for 6th form, but there is a group for everyone.
On
Wednesday evenings we take a group of young people to join in the Genetik
academy at the Message. Here there are opportunities to try out break
dancing, singing or drum lessons and much more.
Friday
night is the Energy social night: sometimes we stay and chill out and
sometimes we go out with visits including laser quest, Ice skating, 10pin
bowling…. in fact anything could happen!
The typical programme of weekly events looks like this, although may vary
