Presbyterian Youth Victoria aims to make and nurture disciples of the Lord Jesus among the youth and children of Victoria, bringing youth from all across the state together to encounter the Gospel, be encouraged, and build positive friendships in a safe environment. Under God, we long to see children and youth across the state grow to become mature followers of Jesus.
We primarily do this with annual camps and one-day events throughout the year where we equip youth and their leaders to continue to grow in and serve Christ every day in their local churches and youth groups.
In addition to the many volunteer leaders recruited for each camp or event, we are overseen by the Youth and Children's Committee (the PYCC) of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria (PCV) and our Youth & Children's Worker.
About Our Youth & Children’s Worker, Nick Attrill
Hi, I'm Nick Attrill, and I currently serve as the Youth & Children’s Worker (YCW) for the Presbyterian Church of Victoria. Before entering this ministry, I worked as a teacher in both Australia and England.
I am currently based in Warrnambool, a beautiful coastal city, where I also serve as an Elder at the Warrnambool Presbyterian Church. Outside of my church and ministry work, I enjoy running, traveling, and spending time with friends. I believe life is richer when we invest in relationships and enjoy God’s creation together.
I am truly grateful for the opportunity to serve in this role, and I look forward to seeing how God will continue to use this ministry to help children and youth across Victoria grow in their personal relationship with Jesus.
About Our Assistant to the Youth & Children’s Worker, Liza Christian
Hi, I'm Liza Christian, and I currently serve as the Assistant to the Youth & Children's Worker (AYCW), working alongside Nick and the Presbyterian Youth and Children's Committee (PYCC) to bring the Word of God to young people in Victoria.
I am currently based in Ballarat, and worship at Grace Ballarat Presbyterian Church. Outside of my work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, and finding opportunities to learn new things. I am awed by the breadth of God's created world and believe that He reveals Himself more and more as we experience his creation.
I have been involved in PYV's ministry over the last 13 years as a youth participant, and later as a volunteer leader. I am grateful to God for the opportunity to share in this important Gospel ministry again and support the work of the YCW and PYCC in reaching youth and children with the life-changing message of Jesus.
