CatalystYouth

Our regular Youth Nights are completely free! We do encourage Giving (the habit of trusting God with our finances) for our regulars, but if you’re new and just here for a visit, there is absolutely no obligation to give! Our Big Nights may have additional costs for tickets, activities or transport.

On a typical Youth Night at Catalyst, the first 20 minutes are dedicated to "hang time" in the foyer and main room. This is a fantastic opportunity for teenagers to socialise and build connections.
After hang time, we run an icebreaker game, then dive into some lively singing, and an inspiring message. The evening concludes with small group discussions, where teenagers gather in gender-based oe year-based groups to reflect, share, and deepen their understanding of the message.

We take our responsibility to provide a safe and nurturing environment very seriously across all Catalyst programs.

All youth are digitally checked-in upon arrival and we encourage all parents to formally Register their teens via our Registration Form to provide additional details. Once programs begin, our entry doors are locked for safety until parent pick-up time.

All of our adult volunteers and leaders undergo a thorough Safe Church process. This includes applying for and being approved for a Working With Children Check (WWCC), completing referee checks, and undergoing training modules. Additionally, we use risk analysis processes to vet all programs and activities.

Each week, amazing parent volunteers prepare light snacks for the teens. We have water and other drinks available throughout the night. Please advise our Youth Team of any dietary concerns and complete a Youth Registration form.

At CatalystYouth, we use a blend of resources to provide the best possible teaching for our teens. Our primary materials include the ORANGE curriculum and sermon series from North Point Ministries. Additionally, we sometimes create our own content under the guidance of our Pastoral Team.
This approach allows us to tailor each series specifically to the needs of our teens, ensuring that the lessons are relevant, engaging, and impactful.
