Mosaic is a community that is passionate about investing in young people.
We are blessed to have a vibrant community of youth, who love getting together to have fun and do life with each other.
We also have an amazing leadership team – people who are passionate about hanging out with youth and helping them explore how to live life to the full.
Weekly Youth Ministry
Our youth ministry exists to serve young people in variety of ways. We provide a variety of spaces for young people to get together with leaders and their peers, depending on where they are up to in life:
Epic Youth
Epic Youth is a community of young people in years 7-10 at school. We meet on Friday nights for some fun and games, snacks, and opportunities to chat about life and faith with leaders & friends.
We’re always keen for new people to come and join in, so grab a flyer from any campus for more information.
When: Friday nights, 7-9pm (weeks 2-9 of the ACT school terms).
Where: We normally meet at Mosaic Page, but sometimes we meet offsite for special events.
Head to the Epic Youth Facebook Page and like us to keep up to date with what’s going on.
Merge
For those who are a bit closer to adulthood (and don’t need leaders to organise games for them) – Merge is a community of senior youth (from school year 11 onwards), who get together a couple of times a month for food, friendship, conversation, and a range of activities that are usually led or inspired by the youth themselves.
We normally meet at one of the leaders’ homes, but it’s not unusual for us to meet offsite for special events and activities as well. Contact Mandy Gray for more information.
Details:
When: 2nd, 4th & 5th Tuesdays of each month, 6:30pm-9:30pm.
Where: Location varies … up-to-date information is always available through our Facebook group.
More info: Get connected to our Facebook group.
Beach Shack
The Beach Shack is a space at Mosaic Evatt where kids & youth can hang out in a safe, supervised environment. It is open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 3pm.
Serve
In addition to our regular youth gatherings, we also like to find opportunities to roll up our sleeves and serve others in our local community.
We normally aim to run a Serve event once each term and youth from both our Epic and Merge communities are invited to serve alongside of the leaders as we bless people who are in need of a hand.
Leadership
If you have a heart to serve young people, Mandy would love to hear from you and see if there is some way you can get involved with our youth ministry. All our leaders are required to undergo Creating Safe Spaces training, and are screened through interviews, reference checks, and WWVP clearance. We also require our leaders to engage in regular in-house training, supervision meetings, and other specialised training and conferences to ensure our leadership culture and praxis are exemplary.
Looking for More?
As well as our weekly youth events, youth are welcome in all of our congregations.
Our Sunday 5:00pm congregation at the Evatt site has a strong youth and young adult focus and many of the youth regularly participate there.
