Grace Youth
We believe true flourishing comes from being rooted in Christ, and it’s a privilege to walk alongside young people on their journey of faith.
Connect + Mobilise
We run two youth groups:
Connect (ages 11–14)
Mobilise (ages 15–18)
Connect was named by the young people themselves, reflecting the importance of connection at this stage of life — with each other, with leaders, and with the wider church family.
Mobilise is focused on helping young people go deeper in faith and grow in confidence stepping out for Jesus.
Across Sunday mornings, Friday nights, summer camps, and events throughout the year, our heart is to see young people grow in faith, friendship, and belonging.
Relationships are central to everything we do. That’s why Connect also includes a monthly. “Snack & Chat” Sunday morning — a relaxed space for games, treats, conversation, and building friendships.
We regularly take part in events including:
A key part of our vision is helping young people become active in church life. Once a month, they have opportunities to serve across different teams, including children’s ministry, welcome, worship, refreshments, and tech.
We also encourage young people to engage with the main Sunday preaching. We sit together during services, provide notebooks (and mints!), and help them reflect on and discuss the message. In Connect, we spend part of the service together before heading out to unpack the teaching in a more accessible way. We believe this helps equip young people to engage meaningfully with sermons as they grow into adulthood.
