FAC Young Adults is a community of post high school aged people keen to connect, grow and be further equipped for a life of service. We are always keen to have new people join us. If you are new to the area, visiting, or keen to check out more about Jesus, we’d love to connect with you.
You can connect with our community in several ways, including the 6pm Sunday Service (the majority of the Young Adult community can be found at our 6pm church service every Sunday) and in LifeGroups (the young adult community meets in LifeGroups through the week, in male, female, and mixed groups).

Stuff we like to do

Dinners

Each term we have a community dinner after our church service. Great food, Great price, Great vibe, Great community. Come and chill out with us!

Teaching Nights

Three times a year we meet up for a night of teaching, songs and community. On these nights we explore an issue that is particularly relevant to our community, in an environment that is warm and relational. It’s a great place to ask questions and explore ideas.

Young Adults Retreat

Each year we get away together for a weekend of community, teaching, connecting, relaxing and fun! Many people find this weekend a great way to plug into our community and get ready for the year ahead.

Social Events

We chill together in a whole range of ways, but every few months a member of our community will arrange something a little different and special. Among other things, this could be a picnic, a trip to Sydney, a day at the beach or group attendance at a major sporting event. These events are low key and great for connections.
