At the Geraldton Boys Brigade young people are learning habits to form a solid foundation for a life of faithfulness to Jesus.
Brigade Captain Eion Simmons praises the program which helps boys and young men develop Christian maturity, balanced personal growth, leadership skills and community service.
“One of the strengths of Brigade is its practicality. Kids learn skills such as how to read the Bible for themselves, camping, bush survival, cooking and debating.”
“We don’t have a Girls Brigade at Geraldton Cathedral, but girls are able to join the primary school age sections of the company,” Eion says.
Brigade is an outreach which attracts children from non-Christian families as well as from a range of other churches in Geraldton.
“Our programs encourage kids to develop habits that are part of true Christian manliness, such as obedience, reverence, discipline and selflessness.”
Programs are on hold but will begin again once Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted.
