WHY DO WE DO YOUTH MINISITRY?

As a congregation we are passionate about the Bible, and how it is our sole authority for how we do life in church and in our own lives. It is aim to help our young people understand the power and relevance of the grace of God, and how “We can’t do better than the Bible.”

Our Sunday School and Bible Classes are open to all children from Pre-school age to youths of 18. We meet on a Sunday morning in the Church Halls from 10.15am until 11.15am and all are welcome, no matter the age, or ability.

Through Sunday mornings we want to share the love of the Lord Jesus Christ with all our children so that in God's timing they will know Him as their personal Saviour and Lord.

The children are taught through song, Bible stories, prayer, memory verses, drama and quizzes. We also enjoy guest speakers especially with our older age groups.

We have strong links with the other youth organisations in the Church with many of our children, and indeed teachers, attending or helping at these also.
