| hello… |
Here at St Mark’s Church we’re very passionate about young people.
Young people aren’t just the church of tomorrow, they’re the church of today! We want to equip, empower and engage young people in their Christian journey.
We run youth groups for young people aged between 10-18 and also work in the local schools and community.
We rely heavily on our wonderful volunteer team who are invaluable to our full-time Youth Pastor.
If you’d like to know more, would be interested in volunteering, or perhaps you are or you know a young person who’d like to join in with our youth programme – then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

On the 1st, 3rd and 4th Sundays of the month we run games and activities as well as Bible studies and discussions that enable young people to think about what they believe and connect to God and his great love for them.
On the 2nd Sunday we help out with Family Services and get involved in all age activities. Pathfinder leaders are Claire Bray and Alison Kelly.
A new group for young people currently in year 9 started in June 2010 and will continue for those young people into the next academic year. Cathy Norris and Pete Kennedy are leading it and the group eat tea together before spending time thinking about God and studying the Bible. The group meets in the upper room from 6-7:30p.m. on Monday evenings. Contact Cathy or Pete for more information.
