Young Hearts, Strong Faith
A vibrant community for young adults (18-35) seeking faith, friendship, and purpose. Whether you’re deepening your spiritual journey, building meaningful connections, or looking for a welcoming space to grow, YEAPs is here to walk alongside you.
Join us for social gatherings, faith discussions, and service opportunities as we journey together in Christ.
Meet our Chaplain
Fr Jason Yeap
Yes, it’s pure coincidence that our chaplain shares a name with YEAPs—but we like to think it’s a sign! As a newly ordained priest from St Charles Seminary in 2024, Fr Jason brings fresh energy, warmth, and a deep love for guiding young adults in their faith.
Passionate about building a strong, Christ-centred community, he walks alongside us in our journey, offering spiritual guidance, meaningful discussions, and plenty of encouragement.
Whether it’s a deep theological chat or just sharing a laugh, Fr Jason is here to support and inspire YEAPs every step of the way.

WhatsApp Group
Be part of the conversation! Our WhatsApp group is the best way to stay connected, hear about upcoming events, and engage with fellow young adults on their faith journey.
To ensure a safe and welcoming space, all members are required to complete a short questionnaire before joining. This helps us better understand who’s in the group and ensures we can organise activities that suit everyone.
Safeguarding &
Personal Responsibility
YEAPs is a community-led initiative designed to bring young adults together in faith, friendship, and service. While the group is connected to the Cathedral, it operates independently as a space for young adults to build relationships and grow spiritually.
We encourage all members to take personal responsibility when connecting with others, whether online or in person. As with any social setting, we advise exercising discretion and ensuring personal safety when meeting new people. While we strive to create a welcoming and respectful environment, the Cathedral is not liable for individual interactions outside of official church events.
If you ever have concerns or need guidance, our chaplain and leadership team are always here to support you.
