Youth

About our youthwork

Hello! If you’ve come to this page, you’re probably interested in our youth work. If you’re not, I’m sorry that you’ve taken a wrong turn.

We run a youth group on Friday nights in Sydenham and support youth in the church.

Are you a young person? Good. We enjoy spending time with each other playing games, making music, having deep chats and eating loads of food.

Are you a parent? Ignore that bit. We sit quietly, eat fruit, and make sure everyone’s done their homework.

The youth team

Stevie

Stevie is our excellent Youth Pastor. He loves worship, mentoring young people in music skills and pretending he knows Mandarin.

Scott

Scott is a web design genius, and loves thinking of new company names. He dislikes a messy desk.

Laraine

Laraine enjoys deep discussions about the Bible, and her dog. She doesn't enjoy having her sleep disturbed.

Dion

Dion is an expert lactose-free baker, and loves hosting and helping out. She's not such a fan of going to bed late. 9.30pm please.
