Our vision, as always, is to be Jesus’ Family of Servants on Mission. In this current time, the ideal way of meeting is not possible and so we are aiming to meet online and engage with as many of our young people as possible. We want to create spaces where we can talk about life, serve our wider family, pray together, reflect on relevant topics and have fun along the way.
A Gathering for all our young people. We’ll worship together, have a talk, chat about what we’ve heard encourage one another along the way.
These are for smaller age-specific groups of young people.
Check back soon to see updates about these zoom calls…
We have a Whatsapp group for our young poeple and leaders to communicate with one another.

We believe discipleship is still absolutely possible in this ‘new world’. We use a great resource called Swap. A leader and a young person meet on zoom and go through this resource together. Interested? Click here to email Natalie.
Would you like to join our phone call support team and call someone who is living alone and isolated at this time?
This is a powerful way to join together as family and support one another at this time.
Clear instruction, guidance and conversation starters have been given.
This is a great way to spend time with God and grow in your relationship with him. It is a daily bible plans that lasts for about 10 minutes. It can help you focus on God and what’s most important for the day ahead. They post follow up on Instagram too – click here to follow them.

Our leaders have come up with some other ways to stay healthy
This church recognises and values children and young people (anyone under the age of 18) as equal partners in the life and ministry of the church, and desires to encourage them to explore, discover and grow as disciples. The Parochial Church Council (PCC) takes seriously its obligations and responsibilities to protect and safeguard the welfare of any child or young person (i.e. under the age of 18 years) entrusted to the church’s care.
Therefore we have a clear safeguarding policy which can be viewed here
To ensure your children are safe in our care we ask for all youth attending groups to be registered with the church. Registraton is a simple process made online. Please contact the church office or the group leader to register now.
St Mark’s Youth and Children’s Ministries feel that this is a vitally important work if the church is to become a place where all are welcome, all belong and all can experience the love of God – and contribute together to be the body of Christ.
If there is any way that we can support your child further in their relationship with God, please do be in contact with Natalie.
Natalie Jones is our Youth Pastor and her role focuses on working with and alongside young people (aged 11-18) in Harrogate.
Alongside Natalie, our youth ministry team is made by an amazing community of people. Our mission is to serve young people. We call ourselves ‘seventytwo’ after the disciples that Jesus sent out. If you have a heart for serving young people, we would love for you to join us.
