IT'S BIG AND RED AND NEVER BORING!
The vision of the united bus is to be a lifeline to the community throughout
the Horsham District. Carrying hope, love, life and fun into our District the bus aims to inspire and educate young people to help them live life to the full. The bus workers are consistently on hand to help young people with issues they face in their everyday lives; issues like bullying, drugs, alcohol, sex, relationships and faith.
History
The united bus has been in operation since April 2005. It grew out of the
youth work of Kingdom Faith Church (which was called united at that time). The aim of the united bus was to take the life and vibrancy of united out to the people who were unable to make it to the NRC for our weekly Saturday night event. For this reason the united bus has always had a focus on rural areas. When the united bus is running at its full capacity it can reach at well over 100 people in a week! Because the bus targets areas where there may not be adequate youth service provision it is very popular with the young people it serves.
