Youth & Children

Youth & Children

Our dedicated teams welcome and inspire our children and young people, creating a place to have fun, feel safe and deepen relationships with God.

Every Sunday morning, there are activities for everyone, newborn to 18 years old. We also have a great provision throughout the week. In all our activities we try to find different ways to reach young people, whatever their age or the stage of their walk with God. If you have questions for any of the team, then please don’t hesitate to get in contact.
