Children and Youth

Youthwork Mission Statement
"To encourage every young person to a personal commitment to Jesus and to equip them to become faithful, effective Christians by providing a relevant and fun Christian environment."

Just as Jesus called children to Him, so we welcome children to Christ Church. Children are important members of Christ Church, and we have many activities to offer them.

We run a Sunday School, Youth Groups, a Holiday Club and a Parent and Toddler group. For more information, click the links on our left.

The safety of the children is very important to us and as such we maintain a strict Child Protection policy.

Waiters and Waitresses.

On behalf of the church and the guests who attended the Esther McCarthy "By Invitation" evening I would like to say a big thank you to all the young people who served the visitors so well. One comment that was said to me was "Did you hirer in the waitresses and waiters, they were so professional".

Well done young people we are proud of you and thank you for giving so much time on a Saturday and pleasure as you served us all.
