This is Freshwaters youth ministry for 11-14 year olds. (School years 7-9) Our overall aim is in line with the overall Freshwaters vision to train and equip a people prepared for the lord with God vision who know how to serve him. In Bravehearts we have a three year programme to encourage young people towards mature Christian discipleship.

 

The programme encourages young people to discover their vision, destiny and Gods plan for their lives. They become equipped to serve and take responsibility in many different areas-modelling something very different to the majority of western society which almost expects irresponsibility and rebellion during these in between or ‘teenage years.

 

The 3 year programme culminates in two back to back weekends. The first week end represents the child going out from the church community family on a journey to seek vision for adulthood. The second week end is the returning journey back to the church after having searched and found vision from God. They are welcomed back and recognised as responsible young adults.

These week ends are very important stopping places to recognise and affirm what God has done and will provide a memory stone and pint of reference for the future.

From here they continue the journey at Destiny calls our ministry for 15-18 year olds (see below) with ongoing support from those of a peer level and those more experienced.

 

The Destiny Calls group is lead overall by youth leaders but they encourage the 15-18 year olds to lead their peers in teaching, outreach and services at church
