ALPHA YOUTH: Journaling the Journey
At Youth Alpha there is something truly special about watching conversations unfold over snacks in a softly lit room filled with blankets, cushions, and plants. Friendships are forming, confidence is growing, and faith is taking root — with Jesus at the centre of it all.
Prayer and Fasting Week: The plan in detail
Join us for Prayer and Fasting Week (22–27 February) as we intentionally set aside time to seek God together. From prayer walks and daily online gatherings to worship and reflective moments at the Kerith Centre, there are many ways to participate as we pray for our community and grow deeper in faith.
Children and Communion: Experiencing Faith Across Generations
When children join adults in communion, they encounter faith in deeply formative ways that can leave lasting impressions.
Stepping into ‘The New’
Lent invites us into a season of surrender, courage, and renewal — where new beginnings are shaped not by certainty, but by trust. Whether you're stepping into change with excitement or hesitation, God’s invitation is to step into the new with Him.
Week of Prayer 22-27th Feb
Join Kerith Church for a Week of Prayer and Fasting from 22–27 February, as we come together across all four sites to pray for our lives, our communities, and the world around us. Through gatherings, online prayer meetings, worship, and personal reflection, we’ll focus on the vision from Isaiah 54—enlarging, lengthening, and strengthening our faith.
More on the HK Visa conversation.
Following last Sunday’s gathering, where we heard from members of our Hong Kong community about potential changes to their visa status, we’re sharing ways to stay informed, pray, and show support. Discover helpful resources, commit to prayer as government discussions continue, and stand alongside our Hong Kong friends at Kerith.
Be more generous this Lent!
Join thousands this Lent by taking part in the 40acts generosity challenge, a 40-day journey of simple, intentional acts that reflect the heart of Jesus. Starting 18 February 2026, each day invites you to give, bless others, and grow in generosity—whether on your own, with family, or as part of your church, school, or workplace community.
