The Vision
At the Youth Gathering, we have a vision to "make spaces for young people to thrive in the Name of Jesus". We have four spaces, for all kids, youth and young adults from the ages of 5-25 years old.
Spaces to Seek: "Welcoming all young people from all backgrounds and helping them figure out who they are in Jesus!"
Spaces to be Shaped: "Giving young people space to worship, listen to what God is saying to them and teaching Biblically to seek first the Kingdom of God!"
Spaces to Share: "Empowering young people to go into their friends, family and share the love of God and speaking truth into the lives of people around them."
Spaces to Serve: "Equipping young people in their abilities and allowing them to serve others in church and community using the gifts that God has given them."

YOUTH CLUB
YOUTH CLUB (formally known as 'Drop in' is a space where all young people from the age of 9-17. Each week we run a 'CLUB' styled programme with games, music, skits and opportunities to win prizes and short talk. We'll end each week with games, football and lots of food!!
Every Friday we'll run from 7-8.30pm.
Sunday Youth Nights
This is the Youth Expression of The Gathering Belfast! Each weekend we will gather together, play games, create space for worship/songs & teaching from the Bible!
Fortnightly we'll break into smaller groups and study God's word together!
Our aim is to echo the early church in Acts 2 "they devoted themselves to each other, teaching of Jesus & fellowship."
