At the heart of the youth ministry is our vision to see young people meet with Jesus and grow in their relationship with God through; exploring the Bible together and being filled with His Holy Spirit; learning how to love and support each other; and through making an impact at home, school or college by telling others about Jesus.

This vision is based on Jesus' words in Matthew 22:36-40 that we Love God, one another, the world, and those who don't know Him.

Based on this vision, we place the following five aims at the heart of all we do so that we remain rooted in God the Father, Jesus and His Holy Spirit! The youth groups at Christ Church are……

1. A place to encounter Jesus
When groups come together our goal is to meet with Jesus and experience his life changing power. We do that as we pray, worship, learn from the Bible and support each other.

2. A place to belong
The youth groups and socials we organise are more than just something you turn up too, but leave unchanged. They exist so that we can have lots of fun together and build strong, caring relationships with Jesus at the centre.

3. A place to grow
The Apostle Paul said that it was his goal to present everyone mature in Christ. We want to create an environment within our groups that encourages spiritual growth in each young person.

4. A place to give
We want the youth ministry to be a place where everyone recognises that they have an important part to play. That means everyone sharing their talents, not just those teenagers who are really confident!

5. A place to reach out
The groups we run are not just for Christians, they're for anyone! Friends are really welcome to anything we do together.
