About our Children & Youth work
St Christopher's Church is remarkably diverse in age, background and culture.

Family is where faith is mainly developed and experienced and where children spend most of their time, compared to 1-2 hours a week spent at a church-run group. We are committed to supporting families in showing children God’s love for them and helping them to understand they are part of God’s wider family too. Volunteers are members of our church family, DBS-checked and given annual safeguarding training. They are trained, resourced and supported to care for and lead our groups. They love learning alongside the children and young people. The Under-18s Ministry is fuelled by time, talent and money donated by Church members. Rebecca Slater |
