youth


Our goal is for the youth of West Hendon Baptist Church to know who they are in Jesus Christ and His love for them. Our aim is “To get the unbeliever to think, the thinker to believe, and the believer to live daily for Jesus Christ.”

 

Age Group: 11-14 yrs old

“Then our sons in their youth will be like well-nurtured plants, and our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace.”  

Psalms 144:12

The youth are the future and next generation of the church; they are precious to God and they are not to be overlooked in the church. Our goal is for the youth of the church to know who they are in Jesus Christ and His love for them so that they will glorify God in the way that God has created them to. Our mission is that the youth would Know God and Love God for themselves. Our aim is to pay attention to the needs of the youth and help them grow in their faith in God and to understand that God also cares about them and what is going in their lives. The purpose for all this is so that whether in the Church or in the World, these tweens and teens would shine as God created them to and live for God’s praise by showing the life of God, and what life with God should be.

We pray, read, and have lessons from the Bible to help us to learn what it means to know God and live in God’s Love. We also play games, have fun activities and go out on several trips and socials.

Our meetings take place at West Hendon Baptist Church and on Zoom

"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect..."

   1 Peter 3:15

The world today is filled with different ideas, understandings and opinions. However, The Word of God is the one truth that stands firm and calls out to all no matter where they are in life. The vision and mission of this youth group is “To get the unbeliever to think, the thinker to believe, and the believer to live daily for Jesus Christ.”

There are a variety of activities that take place during the meetings such as Youth icebreaker and engagement activities. So that the teenagers shine as the lights God has created them to be in the Church and the World, we also learn Apologetic studies, School evangelism, and the discovery of Spiritual/Physical gifts. As a result we seek to; Understand the Foundations of Biblical truths, Live these Biblical truths, Defend these Biblical truths while also pursuing inclusion and participation in broader church activities, so as to become active members of the church.

Our meetings take place on Wednesdays 7pm - 8:30pm in the Church or on Zoom

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello 

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at the Church Building for our Sunday Service starting at 10am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the church service. It is a great way to meet people. All refreshments are free.

Our Service

The main service begins at 10am with a warm welcome from one of our team members. Then follows a time of sung worship, led by our band. We typically have 2 or 3 songs lasting approximately 20 minutes. Sometimes a person might pray out loud or read a small passage from the bible. Sometimes people share things that they believe God is saying to the whole church family. This might seem strange the first time you hear it but it’s all part of our connecting with God. We then share news and notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church. One of our leaders will then give a sermon that is bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life. We then finish with a final worship song. Sometimes there is an opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service.

What about my kids?

Sunday school runs on the 2nd & 4th Sundays from 10:40 am to 11:50 am. On the 5th Sunday, we host a special event for all the children.
All children, aged 3-11 will be in classes that are run in a Kidz Klub style. 

Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs and notices. We really value worshipping God all together as a family. At some point before the sermon someone will announce that it’s time for the Sunday School classes.

The kids group activities vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, bible stories, testimonies, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play.

Getting Connected


Small Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out Small Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.
