Youth
“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12
We believe in investing in our young people here at St Mark’s to give them space to ask questions, pray together, become a disciple of Jesus, reflect and serve our wider church family with lots of fun and laughter along the way.
Elevate
Elevate, for young people in Years 7-9, meets every Sunday during Term Time at the 10:30am service. This is a time for fun, games and getting to know each other whilst exploring faith, the Bible, the world and our views in an interactive way. It is a place where young people are encouraged to ask questions and discuss issues that are important and relevant to them as well as to discuss how being a Christian might impact the way that they live their lives.
