Children and youth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Children and youth are a high priority in the church, and and extensive work is being done to reach this target group in many local churches around the world. In many places, this work is organized in separate voluntary associations that create a healthy and good framework for children and young people’s personal, spiritual, and social development. As of 2024, three Norwegian children’s and youth organizations were admitted as associate members of the BCC Federation: Activity Club, Brunstad Youth Club (BUK), and Xercize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
