Welcome to Kedron Brook Youth (KBY) Group!
"For we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7
Hopefully the following information will give you a taste of what it is like to
be a part of KBY, and the other Christadelphian Youth Circles in the greater Brisbane
area.
Our ecclesia/church consists of about 25 young people between the ages of 13 and
30 who are involved with the greater Brisbane young people’s network of about 100
or so. We are a musical bunch, who loves to use our musical gifts to praise God,
especially through our Gospel Choir and Acapella Fellas groups.
Some activities we have done include:
- Sailing and kyaking
- City Cat boat cruise
- Beach days
- Camping
- Mountain climbing

We all enjoy the uplifting fellowship we have with one another and the strong friendships we have
developed, not only among ourselves but the rest of the church body. We are one
big family helping each other through the trials of life and learning of God’s word
together, growing closer to him.
The aim of our youth group is not only to uplift and strengthen one another on our
journey to God’s Kingdom but to also share this gift with other young people and
invite them along on this journey too. We love having new faces amongst us and aim
to share God’s word with those we meet in other aspects of our lives.
We praise God because…

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting
God, the Creator of the ends of the Earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and
his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases
the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and
fall: but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on
wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40: 28-31
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our
troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves
have receive from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4

We follow Christ Jesus because…
|
In Him and through faith in him we may approach God with
freedom and confidence.Ephesians 3:12
Look to Jesus, the founder and perfector of faith, who for
the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated
at the right hand of the throne of God.Hebrews 12:2
For Christs love compels us, because we are convinced that
one died for all, and therefore all died. And He died for all, that those who live
should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised
again.2 Corinthians 5:14,15

Activities
We meet for a variety of activities including a weekly Sunday morning discussion
Class and a fortnightly, at home Bible Class. We also have monthly social nights
and praise and worship evenings throughout the year.
L.I.G.H.T Nights
L.I.G.H.T stands for ‘Living in God’s House Together’ and is a ‘Praise and Worship
Night’ which is held about 2 or 3 times a year. The night consists of music, singing,
meditation, inspiration and a social coffee shop. These nights have been a great
success and are an opportunity to raise money for the
Christadelphian Meal-a-Day Fund, which is strongly supported by our young people.
Why do we like being part of Kedron Brook Youth?
KBY and Brisbane CYC are awesome because you have such
a diverse range of young people and friends, but it doesn't matter if you're all
different because you have the most important things in common - God, Jesus, our
hope, faith, beliefs, morals.

We love that our friends are children of God. We love that
we can all help each other together and be there for support for our friends in
a trusted environment! We love the warmth that radiates when we are together and
we especially love it when new people come to join us.

I have always enjoyed the fun games, outings and activities
we have at KBY. Bible class is a great way to grow in my faith and become more knowledgeable
about the things I believe in.

I love being with young people/my friends who I know have
the same beliefs and morals and knowing that I can trust them. It's great to hang
out with these guys and learn more about the truth and the hope we have from the
Bible about God, through his son, Jesus. It's awesome because you can be yourself!

Being apart of such a wonderful group of people with good morals, spiritual motivation and a common hope for life and the future is both uplifiting and refreshing. Being apart of this family has really enriched my teenage years.
