Youth

At Saint Paul’s, we are passionate about the emerging generation encountering God and seeing them get stuck into the adventure of living life with Jesus. We spend time in God’s presence through worship, learning from the Bible, growing amazing friendships with one another and having loads of fun! Whether you have been coming to church for years or it’s your first time we think you’ll love it!

Autumn Term Dates

  • Join us every Sunday at the 10:30am service for our youth sessions - a time to connect, grow in faith, and have fun together! We start in the main service for worship and then head out to Youth for games, a short talk, and small groups. We have sessions available each Sunday for Younger Youth (school years 7-9) and Older Youth & Sixth Form (school years 10-13). We’ll wrap up before the adult service finishes, and then meet in the Chapel for waffles, snacks, and time to hang out together.

    5pm
    Come and join us at the 5pm where we worship together as a whole church family.

  • Friday Night Youth
    Come along every Friday in term time for Friday Youth! We meet from 7–9pm with plenty of time to hang out, eat snacks, and play games together. Then we dive into worship, a short talk, and small groups - it’s a space to ask big questions, grow in faith, and encounter God together.

    Autumn Term 2026

    First Friday - 11th September

    First Sunday - 13 September

  • Circles are small groups of 3–5 young people of the same gender who meet with a youth leader either weekly or fortnightly. They're a chance to go deeper in faith, build strong friendships and have honest conversations about what it looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life.

    Together, you'll explore the Bible, pray, ask questions and encourage one another as you grow. Our hope is that every young person in a Circle would feel known, supported and challenged, with a trusted leader who can listen, pray with them and help them grow in their faith.

    If your young person would like to join a Circle, they can fill in this ChurchSuite form or speak to a member of the Youth Team.

  • Mentoring is a one-to-one relationship between a young person in older youth (Year 10-13) and a member of the Youth Team, with a commitment to meet at least once a month for a year.

    It's a space for a young person to have someone they can talk to, ask questions, pray with and learn from as they navigate life and grow in their faith. Mentors are there to listen, encourage and help young people explore what it looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life, with space to talk honestly about the things they're facing.

    Our hope is that through these relationships, young people would grow in confidence, deepen their relationship with Jesus and learn how to live out their faith in every area of their lives.

    If your young person would like to have a mentor, you can register your interest using the ChurchSuite form, and we'll then connect them with a suitable mentor.

  • Register your young person for this Sunday, so they can stay connected.
