YOUTH
Young people are an integral part of our church family. We are dedicated to being part of a life-long journey for young people finding their identity, purpose and fulfilment in the God who loves them and created them.
Follow us on Instagram for updates @htclaygateyouth.
Partnering with parents is a crucial part of how we do this. Parents receive regular updates via our Parent WhatsApp Group – separate for PF and YF.
If you’d like to find out more and see what is happening each term for young people aged 11-18 years, you can look here or please contact our Youth Minister Dominic Mitchell-Claire.

The Well, Youth Drop-In
Y6-Y13
Mondays: Open every week at Emmanuel Hall after school (3.30-6.00pm during term time). A loving and welcoming space for any young people to make friends and receive support after school. This is based both at Emmanuel Hall and online through our Instagram @htclaygatethewell. Young people can come to this safe space and play a variety of games from pool and table tennis, to video and board games. They can come with their homework or struggles and receive help, or they can come for the free hot chocolate and cheap snacks!
Wednesdays: Open every third week of the month for just those aged 15-18 years from 4.00-7.00pm. These sessions are just for those older youth to allow them more freedom and responsibility at Emmanuel Hall. Those who want to help and cook or bake are encouraged to, and then we eat together with all who come along.
