SET THE FIRE YOUTH SERVICE
A Powerful Monthly Gathering for School Years 7 and Above
Calling all Wildfires and Furnace Fire’s Youth! Join us once a month at the leisure centre studio as we kick off the morning with a chilled breakfast and time to hang out. From there, we dive into a high-energy morning led by the Furnace Fire’s team. Expect incredible worship, games, and powerful moments in God’s presence. Featuring Nick and Rach, these monthly sessions are designed specifically for you to connect with friends and grow in your faith.
Check our Church Diary for the next date.
NEWDAY YOUTH FESTIVAL
Every summer, we head to Newday, a major youth festival designed for school years 7 and above. It is a brilliant opportunity to join thousands of young people from across the country for a week of world class teaching, incredible live worship, and plenty of sports and socials. It is a defining week for many in their walk with God, offering a chance to build deep friendships and enjoy an unforgettable camping experience together. If you would like more information, please contact Rachel Peebles.
Safeguarding
We take the safeguarding of all those we have contact with very seriously. The church is fully committed to the belief that all children, young people and vulnerable adults have a fundamental right to be protected from harm and, therefore, fully recognises its responsibility for safeguarding. A full safeguarding policy is in place and can be accessed here. The church’s safeguarding officers are Mel Nodding, Jon Nodding, Nick Peebles.
