Monday Club
Camps, trips and events
Sundays
Throughout the year we run various trips, have socials and go on camps to enrich the lives of our young people. From traveling to Weston-Super-Mare on the train to camping in a field for Spree, we hope that there is something that appeals to all young people.
A few other camps we attend: Geek Factory, based around all things gaming, and Live Football, full of football and Fifa!
The camps do come at a cost so do contact Matt if this is an issue at any point!
On Sunday's, we are keen to engage our young people in different ways - whether that is through being a part of the band, facilitating a craft at breakfast church and in services.
On the 1st Sunday of the month, we have a bible study for young people aged 11-18, including snacks and exploring faith together!
We also have a youth takeover services, where our young people plan and are involved in the service. Our broader church family are very supportive of our work and the young people, both through financial means and prayer, so these opportunities are great to show our appreciation to them!
On Monday nights, we make space for young people to come and explore something of the Christian faith in more depth, whether that is through bible study, being creative or video content - often with some food (toastie's or other snacks). All completely free of charge!
We have looked through the gospel of John and most recently have been working through the Youth Alpha, exploring the Christian faith through video content.
