YOUTH
There’s a place for you at HTC Youth.
We want young people to have fun, find genuine community, ask big questions and discover Jesus for themselves. Whether faith is already a big part of your life, or you’re not even sure what you believe yet, you’re welcome here!
Partnering with parents and guardians is a really important part of what we do. We want to keep you in the loop, make communications easy and help you feel connected to what’s happening. Parents can join the relevant WhatsApp Group for PF or YF, where we share regular updates, key dates and anything you need to know!
If you’d like to find out more about what’s happening each term for young people, please do get in touch with our Rising Generations Pastor Jay Blake
SUNDAY EVENINGS
WEEKDAYS
PF
Y7 – Y9
PF is our group for young people in Years 7 – 9, meeting every Sunday from 4.30pm – 5.30pm at Emmanuel Hall, Common Road (what3words: ///quick.really.cove).
It’s a place to hang out, make friends, play games, ask honest questions and explore what it means to follow Jesus. Each week we spend time looking at the Bible together, chatting in small groups and creating space for young people to grow in faith at their own pace.
At the end of PF, we walk over together to Holy Trinity Church ready for The Six, where PF can be collected or stay for the service!
YF
Y10 – Y13
YF is our group for young people in Years 10-13. We meet after The Six, walking together from church to Emmanuel Hall for a 7.30pm start.
It’s a relaxed space to hang out, build genuine friendships, eat, play games and go deeper in faith. We spend time exploring the Bible, asking honest questions and talking about what it actually looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life.
The Well, Youth Drop-In
Y6-Y13
The Well reopens on Monday 2 November and will run every Monday during term time from 3.30pm – 6.00pm at Emmanuel Hall.
The Well is an open, welcoming space for young people after school, whether church is already part of your world or you’ve never stepped inside one before. Come straight from school, grab something to eat or drink, meet people, chat, do homework, play a game or simply find somewhere safe to be for a few hours.
There’ll still be pool, table tennis, games and snacks but The Well is about more than having something to do. We want it to be a place where people are known, supported and genuinely welcomed, with a trusted team of leaders who have time to listen and chat! There’s no pressure to believe anything or have life figured out. Just come as you are.
