YOUTH
Gabba Youth is a safe and exciting program designed for middle and high school students. It runs every Friday night of school term from 6:30pm - 8:30pm at Salisbury Baptist Church located at 321 Lillian Avenue, Salisbury QLD 4107.
Gabba Youth is a safe, positive program.
We believe that teenagers need a bit of action and adventure to aid proper development. All too often that drive for action and adventure leads teens into poor life choices. At Gabba Youth we run an exciting program that allows our young people to burn some energy and have a lot of fun, while also being intentional with discipleship and teaching God's word.
We also aim to provide positive role models who can still relate to the current circumstances our teens find themselves in. We believe pop culture provides a role model that is lacking in the foundational truth, hope, love, identity, and assurance that Jesus provides. Gabba youth is important to us because we want our young people to understand that knowing Jesus and loving the Lord will ultimately give a person more joy and freedom in life.
We also desire to express God’s love to our young people.
We are a church based youth group and believe that only a life with God brings us true satisfaction.
All the leaders at Gabba Youth are Christians and enjoy talking about their faith in Jesus, and all hold active Bluecards. At Youth we share what God has done through the Scriptures and in our own lives explaining what it means to have a relationship with God and each other. Our goal is to ensure that every teen understands what it means to be a Christian so that they can make an informed choice about their spiritual identity.
Many young people are encouraged to live without regard to the way God intended us to live. We find that teens are encouraged to not care about the things of God without truly understanding who God is. For this reason we teach the truths of the Bible and what God says about teen issues as well as answering any questions put forward by the young people regarding Christianity and faith in God.
Here at Church@TheGabba we take the safety and well-being of all our children and families very seriously.
All of our staff and volunteers involved with children and youth have a current "Blue Card" and have been screened in compliance with Child Safe requirements. Each person receives training and is a caring, compassionate and suitable person to be involved in ministry activities with children and youth, and we operate our activities under the strict Child Safe strategies and guidelines.
We also have CCTV in operation throughout our building.
