Why hello there!
We are Christchurch Baptist WGC Youth. A group of dynamic, creative, life-loving young people. We love nothing more than getting together, eating, playing games, studying Jesus and having fun!
You would be so welcome!
What’s happening
Christchurch offers a range of youth work, welcoming all young people from school year 7 up to the age of 18.
All young people attending our groups need to have a completed consent form by an adult with parental responsibility.
We aim to provide young people with the opportunity to explore God for themselves, as well as having lots of food, going on trips, filling our sessions with fun activities and offering a safe space to come and hang out with friends, and meet new people.
If you’ve got any questions about the programmes we offer, please contact the Church office or get in touch on: youth@christchurchwgc.org.uk

Testimonies
I love youth because no matter what circumstance, you will always come away knowing how much others love and appreciate you. I love the bonds and friendships we all share and I know I can rely on youth to cheer me up!
Young Person – Age 17
Youth has offered me a chance to make new friends and learn more about myself. I have been able to ask questions about the Christian faith and enjoy coming every week.
Young Person – Age 14
I like going to youth because it’s fun and you get to do cool stuff
Young Person – Age 10
Youth at Christchurch has been a huge part of shaping who I am. No matter how I am feeling, I know I can go to youth and be myself and I won’t be judged. It has also helped me to become a Christian
Young Person – Age 16
Youth is actually sick. We go on good trips and eat a lot of pizza. We also talk about deep stuff
