WHAT'S ON AT ST ANDREW'S...

Laser

...for young people in years 6 to 9 at school and meets mainly on Sunday mornings during the 11am Church service. This is a relaxed environment for young people to be introduced to the Christian faith...grow as disciples of Jesus and hopefully build lasting friendships. Laser meets every Sunday when there is a 'normal' 11am service (excluding All Age on the first Sunday of the month). We also have termly socials which range from bowling and sleepovers to beach trips and more!

The 630

The 630 is the evening service at St Andrew's which - you guessed it - starts at 6.30!

This is 'home' to many of our young people at St Andrew's and is also a place that looks to welcome anyone with little or no church experience. Band led worship; teaching and minsitry is the general set up but with some special features through the month:

1st Sunday of month - The 630 'unplugged'

This is a more chilled service with acoustic worship and shared communion

Last Sunday of month - The 630 'unleashed'!

On this Sunday we take more time to worship, pray and experiment...taking risks being creative and listening to God. It's fun!

Authentic : Safe : Holy Space. Youth drop-in for school year 9 to year 13. @ The Cullompton Community Centre between 4 and 6pm on Sunday afternoons. All are welcome to this chilled out space to chat, hang with mates, play air-hockey, pool or table football. Tuck shop. You need completed consent form to attend (see download below).

PODS

Pockets . Of . Disciples

'preparing young people to carry gods presence'

POD's is an amazing oportunity for young people to gain wisdom and teaching from older members of the church. Young people are prayerfully assigned to pairs of mature christians. This can be a truly transformational and grounding experience...getting to know Jesus alongside both your peers but also more mature Christians.

PODS are usually between 2 and 4 young people (yr 9 upwards) with 2 older leaders. They usually meet fortnightly on a day that suits the particular group.

Schools

We currently work in Cullompton Community College on a tuesday lunch time running a Christian Union.

Mentoring

Mentoring is: entering into a safe and accountable relationship with an older more mature Christian with the intention of transference of God experience, life experience and encouragement for the young person.

There are several different mentoring opportunities available at St Andrew's which are aimed at supporting you, as a young person, in your growth with God, leadership, personal issues, prayer life, and understanding. Mentoring can be an incredible experience and most often the experience is one of real encouragement.

The 'Rise Up' programme offers a more structured apporach to mentoring and includes some input and teaching along the way around the theme of leadership. However, this will not suit everyone so other accountable mentoring relationships are also encouraged and available. Please talk with Tim Boxer if you would like to explore the possibility of mentoring for yourself.

TAP

'The Ancient Path' is a year long, full time discipleship course run here at St Andrew's Church for young adults aged 18 and over. Root yourself in God and explore His calling on your life... See more HERE.
