Youth
Our Youth community is a vibrant and faithful group of incredible young people who believe that with God, anything is possible. Our youth groups meet every Sunday morning from 10am and the second Friday of every month for a social evening from 7.30pm! It’s a great way to connect, have fun and learn more about God’s will for your life. Anyone of secondary school age is welcome.
Registration for our Sunday youth sessions closes at 9.55am each week so do make sure you arrive in good time to sign in!
