Welcome!
St Andrew’s is a church for all ages — whether you are young, old, or in-between, you are more than welcome here. One of the things we love to be is a church where young people are known, valued, and supported to grow in faith and friendship together.
Our youth work and groups are hosted and led by our youth worker, Jess Finlay, along with an amazing group of volunteers. We are a youth group for all young people in our local community, whatever your background or beliefs (you don’t have to be a regular church-goer to come!) — if you are aged 11 to 18 and would like to come along to try youth group out, get in touch with Jess for more details.
Sunday Evening Youth Group
Our Sunday Youth Group is a space for 11 to 18s to meet together, socialise, grow in confidence, and share ideas. We meet at St Andrew’s Hall once a month, from 5:30 pm to 7 pm to hang out, talk about life and faith, and enjoy dinner together.
Sunday Morning WHY Group
Our WHY Group is for all those aged 10-15 who want an opportunity to go deeper into the Bible and explore creative ways of praying. We meet for one hour from 10 am to 11 am on the second Sunday of each month at St Andrew’s Hall.
Games ‘N Lunch
Games ‘N Lunch is for those 11-18 who want a chance to hang out after church. Twice a term on a third Sunday, we meet upstairs in St Andrew’s Hall to enjoy some lunch together and play some board games from 11:30 am to 1 pm.
Youth Socials
Youth Socials are for those 10-18 who want to keep building friendships and have some fun together. Once or twice a term we get together to have some food. In the past we have had Christmas parties, gone climbing, punting, watched a movie and more!
Sixth Form Bible Study
Our Sixth Form bible study is for all those 15-18 who want to build friendships, explore the bible, and pray with each other. We meet in St Andrew’s Hall once a month on a weekday. If you would like to be involved or to have a conversation to find out more, contact Jess.
St Andrew’s has a Safeguarding Policy which is actively applied and monitored. Our Parish Safeguarding Officer is Linda Holmes
