Don't miss out on exciting seasonal special events throughout the year! There can be lots of questions raised when joining a new group for the first time. The children and young people don't worry about these kind of things but we know you the parents do! Do we have to sign up? Yes, it is important for the safety and safeguarding of your children that we register them (and you) to ensure we have some basic personal and medical details. Each of the church run groups now require you to pre-register online once per academic year, which only takes a few minutes to complete and then you're good to go! Please ensure one form is completed per child. How much does it cost? All the youth groups are free to attend. There may occasionally be activities or special events held elsewhere for which a contribution to transport or costs may be requested but this would normally be on a voluntary basis as we don't want costs to be a hindrance to prevent people attending our groups or events. If you would like to give to the work of the church please see more information on our giving page. Who runs the group? Each of the in-house children and youth groups is run by a member of the church with assistance from other church members or those from within the congregation. All leaders and helpers have to complete DBS checks and follow the latest church safeguarding policy which can be found here . Do I have to stay? There is no need for you to stay while the clubs take place, with the exception of tots where parents/carers remain responsible for their young ones at all times. That said, you are of course welcome to stay and watch, but we kindly ask that you don't get overzealous and join in with that game of bench ball or shout out answers during the quiz!

Midweek Bible Studies We run weekly home-groups on both Wednesdays and Thursdays which are an opportunity for Christian's of any age and experience to delve deeper into the Bible as well as an opportunity to spend some time in prayer together. Alongside these regular groups we also run from time to time introductory Bible courses for those looking to find out more about the Bible and explore what it means to be a Christian. These groups are tailored to the individuals attending by studying parts of the Bible that the group leader feels would be suitable based on understanding and experience of the Christian faith. Contact us for more information if you are interested in joining one of the weekly groups or would be interested in taking part with one of the introductory Bible courses.

This joint prayer meeting is always the first week of the month, but alternates between Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please get in touch if you wish to know more.
