Under 18s:

Children and young people are important to us. During the service there are often all-age activities which children and young people are encouraged to join in with. There is also an opportunity for them to leave for their own activities which are led by trained, DBS checked volunteers who are members of our congregation.

18-30s:

We are located about a ten minute walk from many local colleges and universities including both De Montfort University and Leicester University. We have established a healthy student population over the years due to our closeness to each campus. At Central we look to integrate students into the regular life of the church through Sunday morning services, our 18-30s small group and social events. Students also have the opportunity to serve in areas of church ministry. We want to make all students feel welcome, and provide a home away from home.
