Youth

Salt is the youth ministry of Yarra Plenty Church. We have a passion to see young people empowered to be all they can be and fulfil their God given purpose. We believe that as we do this together we are able to bring positive change to our community.

To achieve this we run our Friday night Salt event at our Lower Plenty campus and and Manic Fridays at our Heidelberg campus. Added to this we are involved in local schools work and have small groups of teenagers that meet together fortnightly. Check out below for more info all of this. You can also check out our Facebook page (http://www.new.facebook.com/pages/Lower-Plenty-Australia/Salt/23598018757

Salt

Salt is a great night that is about meeting new people and having a fantastic time together, while exploring God & his relevance to our lives today. We have an hour of music, games & just hanging out which then moves into our meeting time. This includes some music from our amazing band as well as teaching from the Bible in a contemporary and relevant way.

These nights are brilliant and you'll definitely have a great time!

Eltham Eagles Soccer Club

Eltham Eagles provides a friendly, encouraging and fun environment for children, youth and adults to play soccer. The Eagles welcome players of all skill levels and we try to ensure that all players get match-time each game. Parents are strongly encouraged to be involved, including as coaches and team managers.  

The club participates across all age groups in the Victorian Churches Soccer Association league, during the winter season.  

Cherish 

Cherish is a monthly program supporting first-time mums with babies up to 12 months old. Cherish exists to nurture and encourage new mums. Each session includes an informative talk and discussion – with topics generally focused on motherhood. Becoming a mum is a life-changing event, as women adjust to new roles and responsibilities. This time can be less than enjoyable for many women due to social isolation, depression or a loss of identity and self-worth. 

Sessions are held monthly. Entry is by donation, with afternoon tea provided. Register at church office or for further information, please contact Angela Hicks on 0431 895 836 or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

Dates and venue are available at the church office
