Unichurch LAUNCH '26

Unichurch LAUNCH '26

University of Newcastle (map)

Every year God sends thousands of students to begin studying at the University of Newcastle. Our hope and prayer is that God would work through us to make Jesus known to these people.

We’d love to see thousands of students come to know Jesus, stand firm in him throughout their university years, and have the joy of serving him for the rest of their lives.

Come join us as we launch into the new year together by lifting our eyes to what God wants for Unichurch and how we can be involved in bringing the incredible news of Jesus to the campus.

We’ll have dinner and dessert together.

If you’re new or you’ve been around church for a while but haven’t yet connected into the community here, The Connect Series is for you!

We want to be upfront about what we are like as a church, what drives us, and where we see God taking us. That’s why we run the Connect Series.

The Connect Series is how you can find out more about Unichurch, what we believe and where we’re going. It’s an opportunity to get to know other people around church, meet some of the pastors including our senior pastor Greg, and hear what we are passionate about as a church.

The Unichurch Connect series will run Tuesday nights from 20 January - 17 February, and includes dinner.

Youth Weekend Away

Get the dates in your diary now!

We’re planning another unmissable weekend. Come forge new friendships, strengthen existing relationships and deepen your love of God. 

Check out our FAQ’s and last year’s timetable below to get an idea of what you’ll get up to!

  • It’s best to leave your phone at home - you will need to leave it in your bag during most of the camp and won’t be allowed to use it during sessions, seminars, or games. 

    Bring a Paper Bible and a Pen!

    Cabins are for RESTING and SLEEPING - not hanging out, unless a leader gives you permission otherwise.

  • We know finances are tight for many this year. If the cost is going to be a barrier to your youth coming along please shoot us an email at youth@hunterbiblechurch.org

  • You can let us know about any special requirements in the relevant section of the rego form.

  • We’d love for you to come to as much of the weekend as possible but we understand this may not be possible for everyone. Reach out to us at youth@hunterbiblechurch.org to chat about your options.

  • Going away for a whole weekend with lots of people you don’t know can be scary. If your youth is feeling extra anxious, reach out to us at youth@hunterbiblechurch.org. We’d love to chat about some ways we can support you and your youth to ease some of those anxieties.

  • We’re expecting over 100 youth to come along to camp this year which is SO exciting but it does mean that logistically it’s too big a task for us to arrange lifts for every youth. If you can’t drive your youth to or from camp we recommend chatting with some other parents to see if they are able to give them a lift. If you’re really struggling to find someone, reach out to us at youth@hunterbiblechurch.org. We’ll work to put you in touch with someone that may be able to help.
