Youth at LifeSwitch

A youth program in Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt and the Wellington Region you want to be a part of.

Where you'd rather be.

At LifeSwitch our hope is all young people find a place to belong, to be known and get the opportunity to be all God wants them to be. Where they can ask their questions, make great friends and grow into leaders worth following.
