This is a youth group for children in school years 5 and 6 meeting in the church from 6:45 pm until 8:45 pm.
The children spend the first 15 minutes chatting and playing, before settling down for a short talk or drama based on themes from the bible. Following the talk we go into small groups for drinks and socialising, followed by a choice of organised activities such as dodge ball, crafts, board games, playstations and cooking. For the final 40 minutes the children have free time to play with the wide range of games including table tennis, table football, air hockey. We also have a very popular tuck shop which opens for the final half hour.The club is very popular with local children and numbers are limited to around 40 children, to ensure that the club is friendly and caring. Each year we have about 20 new places available and the club is promoted in both Millbrook and Grove C of E schools.

Tuesday Youth Group
Tuesday Youth Group meets at the church from 7:30pm to 9:30pm, and is for school year 9 upwards.
Once the members have paid their entrance fee, they have free time for the first hour to chat, drink coffee, listen to music, play computer games, football, Unihoc, basketball, pool, or to buy some sweets from the tuck shop, and veg out.
At 8:30 we sit down to spend an hour either studying the Bible or looking at what God says about issues that affect our lives and how to deal with them. We do this through drama, watching videos, music, debates and study.
We have regular night out activities, which include ice skating, bowling, night hikes, scuba diving, barbeques, and camping trips away to Soul Survivor
