Under 18s:

We love welcoming children and young people into the life of our church. Whether it’s Sunday mornings or midweek gatherings, we aim to create spaces where under 18s can explore faith, build friendships, and feel genuinely valued. On Sundays, we offer age-appropriate groups during the service, with Bible stories, crafts, games, and prayer all led by DBS-checked volunteers who care deeply about young people’s spiritual growth. And occasionally during the week, we host activities such as youth socials, seasonal events, and family-friendly gatherings. We also encourage young people to get involved in worship, tech, and creative ministries as they grow in confidence and faith, and they in fact are very much part of leading and serving. Our aim is simple: to help children and teens know they are loved by God, supported by community, and free to ask big questions in a safe and welcoming environment.

18-30s:

We are passionate about creating space for young adults to grow in faith, build genuine friendships, and explore life’s big questions together. Whether you are a student, working professional, or somewhere in between, our 18–30s group offers a relaxed and welcoming environment to connect, reflect, and be encouraged. We believe church should be a place where young adults feel seen, heard, and valued not just on Sundays, but throughout the week.

Church life at Mountsorrel Baptist goes far beyond Sundays. We’re a community that gathers throughout the week to worship, to grow, to serve, and to support one another.

Other activities & ministries:

We are a church that believes in living out our faith through worship, fellowship, and service both within our walls and out in the community. On the first Sunday of each month, we gather for Holy Communion at 10:30am - a time to come around the Lord’s Table in worship and reflection, remembering Christ’s sacrifice and renewing our commitment to walk with Him.
