Hope City Youth

At Hope City we want to help our youth (ages 10-18) to grow in their relationship with God, build relationships with one another, get stuck into serving, and be part of the church family. We know that this is a time when you often have lots of questions, and might be trying to figure out what it means to be a Christian, or whether you even are one! We want to help you in this journey, so on these pages you will find links to different resources, and information about what we offer at Hope City.

And don't worry, we can give you any training and support you need, you won't just be thrown in the deep end.

Youth Small Group

A Hope City Small Group run for the youth, by the youth (with some adult supervision!).This group meets at Matt and Racheal Round's house twice a month to look at a video from the Bible Project and discuss it. It's another chance to dig deeper into what the Bible has to say. There is a Small Group for parents that runs alongside it

David MartinHow I came to know Jesus: I grew up in a big church and heard lots of things about Jesus and the Bible, but I didn't understand why it all mattered so much until I was a teenager and I learned more about how I was a sinner and why Jesus had to save me. It all finally clicked when I was at a weekend away and learning from the book of Romans, and I finally realised why I needed Jesus and why I should follow him. So that's what I did!Loves: Video games, music, films, sports, Irn-BruDislikes: Healthy food, being bored, being away from homeMost likely to be found: Playing 9-Square

Bible Reader

Read the Bible out loud for everyone in church. We'd ask you to practice the reading in advance as sometimes there are tricky names or places, or just challenging sentences.

Youth Cafe

Gather with other youth and 2 of the youth leaders after the AM Gathering on Sundays to chat about the morning's talk, ask questions and think some more about what it all means for you.This is more informal than a Bible study, and you don't have to have lots of questions or know the answers. We just want to help you engage more with the morning's talk.See the events section of the App to find out which age group is meeting each week.
