Our vision is to make disciples who make disciples. We want to teach, support and encourage children and young people to grow in their faith and into a deeper relationship with Jesus – we aim to do this in a way which is fun, relevant and real to them.
We run weekly clubs and activities as well as one off events throughout the year. We also have age related teaching for children and young people on Sunday mornings.
If you have any questions, we’d love to hear from you!
