Are You A Big Kid?
YouthFest Returns in 2026!
The Point and Salt Community Church are psyched for the return of YouthFest in 2026. Come and join all your mates over 2 huge nights for one last epic time just before the School holidays end. So, whether you’re into chilled beach hangs, kicking the footy or catching a wave, we’ve got you covered at Lighthouse Beach between the 21-22nd Jan 2026.
There’ll be food, games, friends and fun, plus the opportunity to sit in on a session or 2 over the two days as we consider what it is you’ll really be holding in your hands throughout 2025. In these sessions we’ll be thinking a little deeper about some of the big questions in life and just what exactly a guy called Jesus has to do with all that! We look forward to seeing you there.
Our Team
We have a passionate team of leaders who love investing in the mental health and wellbeing of the Youth of Port Macquarie and its Surrounds.
YouthFest has come to sit under the Summerfest umbrella which is part of The Point & Salt Community Church’s Children’s and Youth Ministries. YouthFest, however, has its focus on kids and teens in Yr 7-12.
Our team of leaders is comprised of many friendly church members, all having partaken in our quality training program and complying with Australian child safety regulations including Working with Children Checks and Online Safe Ministry Training.
