Meet Caleb Byrne - NEXT
Caleb Byrne recently joined the team here at Everyday Church so we asked him some questions to get to know him.
Caleb, you have recently joined Everyday Church, so we would love to get to know you – What are your favourite hobbies?
My favourite hobby is watching American Football. I am a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs but love watching any game I can because of the time difference. I also really enjoy music, and I love to sing. I'm learning to play the guitar. I also love to hang out with friends and make new ones.

You've just started the NEXT internship year with New Ground – What led you to apply to do Next?
I wanted to do a year out of education before starting university. A-levels had been quite stressful at points, and I just wanted a year to learn more about God and to grow stronger in my faith. There was a guy at Community Church Putney who had done a similar internship programme, and I knew I wanted to do something like that. I heard about NEXT through a guest speaker at church, and I thought it looked amazing, so I applied.

What are you hoping God will do in you during this year?
I am hoping that God helps me to develop and grow stronger in my faith which would allow me to start university with a strong foundation. I’m also excited about the opportunity to serve here at Everyday Church.

You mentioned serving – What sort of things will you be involved with throughout the year?
I will be involved in youth work primarily but also helping with kids work. I am also involved in the youth club which is run at Everyday Church Southfields in conjunction with Saint Cecilia’s School.

How can we pray for you?
You could pray that I am able to get really stuck in here, get to know people, and that I can serve the church well for this next year.
