Exodus small groups provide young people with an opportunity to grow per-sonally and spiritually. Each team follows one of 4 small group courses, each of which caters for young people of different ages and experiences.

Ex-plore groups are made of young people, some who are Chris-tians and many who aren’t. It gives a chance to make a difference locally and globally, to meet new people, to explore the issues of life and experience the challenge of another culture. (Year 11+)

Ex-change is designed to encourage you to go deeper with God and teach you more of what it means to be His disciple. You will find out more about worship, the Bible and prayer, as well as de-veloping your relationship with Him. (Year 11+)

Ex-press is a chance for maturing Christians to develop their head, heart and hands for ministry and service for God. The course aims to equip and encourage you to make ministry a way of life. (Year 13+ or born on/before 30th June 1998)

Ex-tend is shaped to help disciples live out their call as disciple-mak-ers. It is for those who are excited about investing time in others and helping them become more committed in their faith. (Year 14+ or born on/before 30th June 1997).

Choose the Exodus Small Group Course which suits you best.
