Meet Our Youth Leaders

Our vision is:

  • closer followers of Jesus
CofE

Our Leaders are committed to being involved with kids' lives - from supporting them at extra-curricular events, to listening as they talk about what's important in their lives. Leaders help kids consider the direction they are heading in, and, through Christ, they offer hope for the future.
