Hello!
Whatever your age, your outlook, your background or your beliefs, we hope that there is something for you at Guildford Baptist Church. Here we have a dedicated youth team of amazing volunteers and staff, so why not have a read and find out a bit about us, what makes us tick and what we are up to that you could be involved in:
Who we are!
Youth Pastor - Chris Toms
Archie Catchpole ~ EPIC student working in Youth
A team of 30 Volunteers
Everyone involved has signed up to the Churches Child Protection Policy and been CRB checked
Youth Groups
We have a number of different groups that meet regularly and focus on a variety of things - sometimes discipleship, worship, or teaching, or a space where young people can come and hang out in a place to call their own. At the core of all these groups lies an emphasis on our values of discipleship, community and mission.
Whether it's a place to have some fun or to explore the Christian faith we hope to have somewhere that you may feel comfortable in trying out.
| SUNDAY | Wired (sch years 6 & 7) Morning Service 10am - 11.30am |
| Wired Up (Sch years 8-11) Morning Service 10am - 11.30am | |
| Open House - a social after the evening service at the Centre or someone's house (till 10pm, for 14+) |
| TUESDAY | Youth Band, fortnightly, 7pm - 8.30pm. From 8pm the band joins with the rest of the worship teams for a time of worship together. To lead people in worship we must first be worshippers. |
| FRIDAY | Millimeads (Sch years 6-7) 6.30pm - 8pm |
| Wired Up (Sch years 8-11) 8pm - 10pm |
PODs (Places of Discipleship)
- These are small, single sex groups that meet regularly, usually bi-weekly, and stay together until 6th Form age where the groups merge. The same leaders stay with the group throughout to provide consistent support through the adolescent years.
- POD Altogether is an evening where we bring all the POD groups together, usually for food and a particular focus (in the past this has been church life, creative worship, or prayer).
