Youth

Dreamers Youth is the place for every high school student at Futures Church, and it's one of the highlights of a young persons week. Meeting every Friday night during the school term, Dreamers is a vibrant, fun and faith-building community where young people come to connect, belong, and encounter God together. Dreamers Youth exists to see every young person know who they are in God, build friendships that go the distance, and step into everything He has called them to be.

bU Women

bU is the women's ministry at Futures Church. A place where women come to laugh, to be honest, to encounter God, and to find the kind of community that makes life feel lighter. This happens through various gatherings, events throughout the year and our annual bU Conference.

Young Adults

Young Adults at Futures Church is a community for 18–29 year olds that meets fortnightly in Connect Groups as well as at other times for social gatherings and events. It’s designed to help young adults build real friendships, find belonging, and grow in faith in a relaxed, down-to-earth way. The focus is connection, community, and doing life together rather than formal programs or traditional church settings.

Midweek prayer

Prayer is a vital part of the life of our church. Every week we gather together to pray for people, families, our Church and our community. We believe prayer changes lives, strengthens faith, and keeps our church centred on Jesus.

First-time hosts

From the moment you arrive at Futures Church our welcome team will meet you at the door, greet you and make sure you actually feel at home. There's a free coffee waiting, a gift to take away, and real people who are genuinely glad you made it. If you have kids with you our check-in for them is simple and our team will walk you through every step so drop-off is easy and you can settle in knowing they're in great hands. We want you to feel at ease and connected from the moment you arrive for the service.

Follow-up

You can expect a call or text (whatever suits you best) from our Campus Pastor and then we would love to help you get connected to people from the age and stage of life you are in.

New to church?

Your first month at Futures is all about connection. It starts with a warm welcome at the door, a gift, and a coffee or a meal after the service on us. Our team will follow up with a personal call during the week, invite you for a coffee and then we would love to invite you to our next New Friends Dinner. We want you to meet people in your age and stage of life on Sundays but also help you find a Connect Group, where you'll meet others and truly experience what family at Futures feels like.

Just said yes to Jesus?

If someone makes a decision to accept Jesus into their life we will celebrate it! Someone will put a gift into your hand, and connect with you after the service about the decision you have made. We will walk alongside you as you take your next steps as a Christian.

Foundations

Our new christian classes are run through connect groups or are one on one moments spent with one of our great pastoral leaders.
