About REST·AWE Youth
Rest·Awe Youth is a Christian youth community centred on Jesus.
We gather to know him better, grow as his followers, and share the life and joy he brings with others.
We meet together on Friday nights and in smaller groups on Sundays, opening the Bible, praying, supporting one another, and learning what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life.
If you’re already following Jesus, this is a place to grow deeper and learn to live out your faith. If you’re curious about Jesus and want to explore who he is and why he matters, you’re very welcome to come and check it out.
Who is Rest·Awe for? Youth in years 7-12 (year 6 can join in September)

Coming up at Rest·Awe Youth
2026 T4 w1-2 - Philemon
How does the good news about Jesus change the way we treat people, especially when relationships are difficult? Join us at the start of this term as we spend two weeks in Paul's letter to Philemon, exploring how the gospel shapes our response to those we've hurt and those who've hurt us. I hope we'll see that when Jesus renovates our hearts this leads to lives of repentance, forgiveness and reconciliation.
2026 T4 w3-7 - The story of us
Our world is deeply confused about what it means to be human, and that puts a lot of pressure on us to write our own story. But thankfully God has a better story to tell. The Story of Us is a 5 week course with videos and discussion groups. Through it our hope is to grapple with what it means to be human and what we were made for. God’s answers to these questions are transformative for how we think about sexuality and gender. Join us this term as we explore the cultural narratives that shape us, the Bible’s better story and how all this personally impacts us.
Connect Groups
Alongside Friday nights, Rest·Awe youth also meets in smaller connect groups on Sundays to read the Bible, pray, care for each other and have fun! Join a connect group to grow in your faith, build friendships and get connected to the wider church. CONNECT GROUPS THIS YEAR:
Junior High (yr 7-8) During the 10am service.
Senior High (yr 9-12) Sundays from 4.30-6.00pm
