Catalyst is our young adults ministry for those who have finished high school (18-25). Catalyst meets most weeks as small groups either in the church cafe on Monday nights or in people’s homes on Wednesday nights.
Once a month all the Catalyst groups come together to hang out or participate in some sort of outreach such as ministering to Sydney’s homeless community with Jesus Cares Ministries.

Women need Women!!
So.... EQuip was formed to provide a place for women to meet with women!
Simple really!!
We plan ....
- to have fun watching movies and laughing together or being creative and making something as we chat over coffee
- on meeting new friends, giving and receiving encouragement and support and deeply connecting with each other
- on praying for and with each other about the real issues that we as women, daughters, granddaughters and mothers face
- to spend time looking at God’s Word and learning more about Him and putting our learning into practice in our busy lives
- to learn more about ourselves - who are we really?
- to live the full life God intended for us.

Ryde Baptist Church places a high priority on people attending home groups. These groups are small gatherings of people wanting to grow in their relationship with God. The groups seek to foster a feeling of belonging through genuine relationships and help to insure that everyone is cared for.
Each group has either one or two group leaders, that have been chosen for this important task. Throughout the year we seek to help our leaders by having regular training gatherings. This way our leaders are supported and become very skilled and as they continue to learn and grow, the group is impacted in wonderful ways.
In 2009 we have a number of home groups running both during the daytime and at night. We will help you to find the best group for you!
