Under 18s:

Young people are important to us and so we ensure that we have excellent and engaging programmes for all ages. Including Creche (0-3), Kids (4 to 6 and 7-9), Youth (10 to 16, including Thursdays) and 6th Form (16 to 18, just Tuesdays).

With many people at our church in this age range, our Young Adults ministry and our Student ministry are key parts of helping this group engage with one another and God. Students meet every other Wednesday and our Young Adults meet once per month.

Local outreach & community activities:

There is great hope to be found in God, and we are here to reflect that hope in Guildford. We want to work with Jesus to improve the lives of the many people who live in Guildford. We work with a number of local organisations that provide support, counsel, practical and spiritual care across the town e.g. Christians Against Poverty, the foodbank and Urban Saints. These organisation we call our Hope Works and you can find out about them on our hope works section of our website.

Other activities & ministries:

In addition to our larger meetings, we also meet regularly in smaller groups, which we call Life Groups. The groups revolve around food, fun, friendships and faith. This is where friendships can really be developed and, crucially, where we can explore the Christian life together and help each other grow in faith. We also run Alpha courses, marriage courses, singleness courses and parenting courses, as well as leadership and preaching development classes.
