We regularly organise activities in the local community at Christmas, Easter and as an "alternative" to Hallowe'en, and occasionally run Holiday Clubs.

Youth & Young People

Under 18s
0-18
On a "normal" Sunday morning, we provide a crèche for the youngest children. The rest of the children and young people join the rest of the congregation for the first part of the service, after which they leave for their own activities. Sometimes, depending on the content of the service, the older young people (c.15-18) may stay for the duration of the service.
All age services are held monthly, normally on the first Sunday of the month.
There are currently midweek activities for those of high school age (11-18).
