Youth groups

Pre-register here

All of the youth groups require parents to pre-register their child's basic details for each academic year.

Click below to do so now for 2024/2025.

Tots

 

​Running every Monday & Friday, Tots is a friendly group in a carpeted hall for pre-school babies or toddlers and their carers. Children can enjoy lots of toys and there is a designated area for non-movers. A new craft activity is provided each week. 

At the end, there is a drink and a biscuit provided with a story and singing session with teas and coffees provided for parents and carers.

 

Look out for specials such as Christmas parties, lamb feeding and summer picnics.

Due to limited space and availability we now operate twice a week but ask parents/carers to select which day 

they would like to attend regularly.

Tots operates during school term times. For more details, scroll down to the important information section below or get in touch.

Explorers

 

Explorers is an action-packed club for children of lower school ages
(Reception to Year 4). 

Each week we sing songs, play games, remember Bible verses, learn about Jesus, and have Bible stories. We also have crafts, and prize tables from time to time.

Throughout the year we run a number of special Explorers events such as Christmas parties, lamb feeding, and picnics.

Please get in touch if your children would like to join the group.

Explorers operates during school term times. For more details, scroll down to the important information section below or get in touch.

With weekly groups meeting throughout term-time, there's something available for children and young people of any age!

5up

 

5up is a fun, action-packed middle school group for those in year 5 up... to year 8.

Each Monday we run a number of exciting games, crafts and competitions and then think about a passage from the Bible.

 

About twice a term we have a themed special evening. In the past these have been based on super heroes, pancake evenings, pizza and parachutes, adventure evenings and water based games.

Please get in touch if your children would like to join the group meeting each Monday.

5up operates during school term times. For more details, scroll down to the important information section below or get in touch.

Youth Link

 

Youth Link is an inter-church group run by The Churches Project, an organisation setup to support local church works across South Bedfordshire and North Hertfordshire. The group is aimed at those in Year 9 and beyond, with a number of our young people attending and supporting each week.

The group meets each Friday for an evening of games and fun, along with a section set aside to give the young people an opportunity to delve deeper into the Bible.

Youth Link operates during school term times.

Please let us know if you or your young person would like to join and we can organise for someone to get in touch with you.

Don't miss out on exciting seasonal special events throughout the year!

Children playing outdoors

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!
