A Generation Rising!
At Christ Church we believe that young people are the key to what we're about - this is why we have the Church motto, "Sharing Jesus with the next Generation". Youth Church contains some of that next generation - a Generation that's Rising! Rising up to influence our society for good.
MISSION STATEMENT
In Youth Church, children and young people are given a safe place in which to learn about Christianity and grow as a Christian. This is done in a fun, lively, challenging and loving way. The Mission Statement shows what Youth Church aims to do:
HOW YOUTH CHURCH IS ORGANISED
Youth Church has got three sections for different age groups:
The Ark
...is for anyone in Nursery or Infants' school (roughly ages 4 to 8).
Pathfinders
...is for anyone in Junior school (roughly ages 9 to 11).
Snacc (teenagers)
Stands for Sunday Night at Christ Church)
MEETING ARRANGEMENTS
The Youth Church groups join the main 10am service, for the first 10-15 minutes, and then leave to go to the Church Hall. Their meetings finish at about 11.20 a.m. On weeks when there is no Communion in church (i.e. Morning Worship) the groups stay in the Hall for the full time. When there is an All Age service once a month Youth Church joins with the rest of church to praise God together.
