Each summer the Youth Council organise outreach trips at home, to the mainland and sometimes further afield. These trips are an opportunity for you to get an insight into some of the smaller churches and works of the denomination, encourage the believers dwelling there, learn in a very practical way how to evangelise, and fellowship with other likeminded young people.
Next year we are taking a team to carry out evangelism in Williams Lake, Canada with Rev. Andrew Simpson, if you would like to be part of this trip complete the application below:
