YOUTH MINISTRY

Youth logo 22.png

Our vision is to create spaces where young people thrive; have fun, realise identity, love God, influence society, become a disciple of Jesus.  We do this as a family, journeying together with lots of laughter and encouragement!

 

If you’re in school years 7-13, come and join us!

WHEN TO COME

SUNDAY MORNING



We know that time is precious for our older youth so we are concentrating our time to worship with them on Sunday evenings and Tuesdays. They are always welcome to join the main services on Sunday mornings.
For our year 5-7 children and young people we have Blaze, at St John's during Sunday worship.

IGNITE

Ignite is a place to have fun, build relationships, be a family and to learn more about God. 

​
Ignite is run at St Luke's Church, Franklin Square, HG1 5EL
 
4TWELVE

The name ‘4twelve’ came from 1 Timothy 4: 12

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity’.

The aim of this group is to go deeper into the bible and to develop our relationship with God whilst having lots of fun and good discussions.  It will also be a place where young people can discuss issues that are important and relevant to them and how being a Christian might impact the way we react to these issues.

 

4twelve is currently running at Harrogate Chocolate Factory every Tuesday.

​

 
BLAZE

Blaze is our Sunday morning children's group for those in years 5 to 7 which takes place in St John's East End during Sunday worship. Worship, fun and pastries for our older children.
