Youth at Latimer

At Latimer Youth we are all about good times, friendly people and hearing about our Great God. We’ve learned the great news of hope found in Jesus and we want others to know about it too. We welcome any youth in school years 7-13 to come and join us.

Junior Youth on Sundays

Sundays at Latimer are all about family being together. Our year 7-9 aged youth study God’s Word together with targeted teaching while the adults hear from God in the main talk. We discuss the big questions of life as we think about the good news of Jesus.

The safety of our children and young people is hugely important. All our youth ministry staff and volunteers are police vetted and well-trained following the Safe Ministry Blueprint. If you’d like to know more, read our other policies and get in touch with Simon or our Safe Ministries Officer.
