Celebrating Christ in the heart of Victoria through joyful worship, building inclusive community, and putting faith into action

Youth Programs

Contact our youth leader, for more information on any of these programs.

Nursery

We are pleased to announce that on Sept 11, 2011, we started a nursery service during the 10:00 am worship service. Volunteers staff the nursery in pairs.

Sunday School

Sunday School takes place on Sundays during the 10:00 Service. We use the Whole People of God curriculum, and usually meet as two separate classes. We enjoy a variety of activities, crafts, songs and games.

There are several opportunities throughout the year for children to participate in additional events and special family services. These may include Advent, the Christmas Pageant, Shrove Tuesday, Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, Easter and Pentecost.

The Church School year concludes in June with the Parish Picnic at Beacon Hill Park.

Plan B

Plan B is a program for youth aged 11 years and older. We meet every Monday 6:30-8:30.

This is an eclectic group of energetic youth who have a passion to understand social issues both locally and abroad.

The one thing that stands out for this group at the end of each year and the thing they want to do every year is cooking for the ‘Out of the rain’ youth shelter which St Johns hosts Monday evening between the months of November and October.

Plan B also plans a pilgrimage to a sacred Christian site every 2 years. The next pilgrimage will be taking place in the summer 2012. Fundraising activities have already started one of the initiatives this time is bottle returns from a local condominium complex. Being aware that this is how many people in the city get money to live the youth have decided to use some of the money raised to support a local organization.

Something Else

Something Else is a program for post high school young adults. It is a self guided group, with members planning session’s activities and events for the group whilst reaching out to other youth in the diocese their age. We meet every 3rd Sunday of the month at 6 PM often staring with a potluck meal.
