We are passionate about equipping young people to live lives of meaning, purpose and hope through a relationship with Jesus Christ. We have three key types of meeting. Small Groups With around 200 people attending the 7pm service it is important to not get lost in the crowd. Small Groups are... well... small groups of people who meet together in homes. Most of them meet on Sundays at 4:30 but in 2010 we will also have alternate meeting times. During Small Group we study the bible, pray and do life together under the guidance of young adult leaders from the 7pm community. Thank God It's Friday Every now and then we get together for some fun and teaching aimed specifically at senior high schoolers. They're not every week but when they're on these meetings are the place to be and a great place to invite friends as well. Shac7 Services We meet at 7pm in the hall at Genazzano College (Cotham Rd, Kew) every Sunday night. This service is targeted at secondary students and young adults. The service creatively presents relevant bible teaching, dynamic worship music and prayer for our church, community and world. Visit the Shac7 page.

Not sure which is grammatically correct but you get the point) and how they compares with the Christian world view. Atheist are most definitely welcome to come and share their opionions in the discussion groups.
