SMALL GROUPS
From a crowd to a community
Small Groups are the bread and butter of our YA community. These groups meet fortnightly on Wednesday nights, and are made up of people in similar life stages, and led by leaders who care deeply and want to help you grow. This is where friendships deepen, questions can be asked honestly, people pray for each other, and discipleship becomes personal.

CAMP
A weekend getaway
Every year (approx. end of June/July semester break) we getaway together for camp, 2 days and 3 nights of worship, fun, community and making space to hear from God. It’s one of the highlights of our year and an essential time for young adults—new and regular—to build friendships and deepen your faith.

Small Groups
Real friendships. Real conversations. Real life.
Small Groups are where our YA community becomes personal.
While our monthly YA gathering brings everyone together, Small Groups create space to slow down, build genuine friendships and do life together in a more meaningful way. Our groups are co-ed and based around similar life stages, because we know young adulthood can look really different depending on the season you’re in.
You might be:
- finishing Year 12
- studying at uni or TAFE
- starting your career
- navigating work and adult life
- engaged or newly married
- figuring out what faith and life look like in this season
Small Groups are a place to:
- meet people and build genuine friendships
- talk honestly about life and faith
- ask questions in a safe environment
- pray for one another
- stay connected throughout the month

Every Small Group looks a little different, but they all share the same heart: a place to belong, grow and build meaningful friendships. Our groups are based around life stages, including things like:

Why is there only one YA Gathering a month?
At The Rocks, we love Young Adults, but we also deeply value the life of the whole church. That’s why we gather as a full YA community once a month, while prioritising Sundays as our main weekly gathering as a church.
We believe young adults aren’t separate from the church, they’re a vital part of it. Sundays create space to worship alongside different generations, serve on team, build relationships across church life, and stay connected to the bigger picture of what God is doing at The Rocks.
Then once a month, YA comes together intentionally for a night focused on young adults—building friendships, growing in faith and creating space for conversations specific to this season of life.
The rhythm helps us stay rooted in the wider church while also building a strong and meaningful YA community.
