At IVY YTH we are committed to creating a place where young people can be honouring to everyone, be passionate about Jesus and grow in their relationships with God, their peers and the team. We meet through YTH Nights, groups, socials and monthly Centrals.
YTH Night
The emphasis of YTH Nights is celebration. They’re a fantastic opportunity for youth to come to hear a relevant talk, worship God, play great games, hang out and encounter the Holy Spirit. A perfect place to invite their friends along and for youth to discover their God-given giftings.
Location: Didsbury
Group Night
Group night is a chance for the youth to find a community of young people of a similar age and grow in their relationship with God. There’s a strong emphasis on discipleship, and encountering Jesus through the Bible, fellowship and prayer.On a group night the youth will break into 2 different groups; younger youth (years 7-8) and older youth (years 9-11).
Location: Didsbury
Sundays
We offer youth provision at the Didsbury's 11am service. Sunday morning youth is for youth aged 11-14 and we meet every week apart from the first Sunday of the month where the youth will be in the service or encouraged to help serve on a team
Upon arriving head straight upstairs from 11am for a chance to make friends, eat good food, have Bible discussions, hear talks and play games.
Location: Cheadle Hulme and Didsbury
Hub
Hub is our Sixth Form and College group that meets weekly, with a focus on discipleship, and encountering Jesus through the Bible, fellowship and prayer. It’s a great place for 16 - 18 year olds to find a community and grow in their relationship with God.
Location: The Rablen’s House
Socials
Socials are once a term and are the perfect space to build friendships and connections with one another. They’re an ideal opportunity to bring friends along and provide a taste of what IVY YTH is like.
Location: Locations vary
Central
Central is our opportunity to come together with the rest of the church, hear a relevant talk, worship together with church family and encounter the Holy Spirit. Please note this might be more beneficial to the older youth but is for everyone.
Location: Didsbury
As YTH leaders we are committed to serve the next generation so that they can be raised to be passionate followers of Jesus. We strive to create a safe place where young people can belong, grow and encounter God.
