Christ Church offers young people a chance to look at what it is to grow closer to Jesus and how faith is relevant to everyday life.
We give young people opportunities to serve, explore life, meet people, be real and work out ways to transform the city and the world.
We aim to be fun, welcoming and life-changing – a place of rest in a busy week and a place of community in a fragmented world.

Pathfinders Weekend Away: Power
15-17th November
Do you ever feel quite small in the world?
Christians don't just believe that Jesus was the Son of God who lived a long time ago and that God made the world even longer ago and that God is with us right here, right now by his Holy Spirit. And when we feel small, we can remember that he's loving and powerful and he's with us.
During the weekend, we're going to be finding out more about the Holy Spirit, and we'll explore how he wants to help us and change us.

6-8th March, Westbrook, Isle of Wight
Our Week Away is the highlight of our year!
YOU are invited!
From laser tag in the forest and silly team challenges to small group time and main sessions,
we'll be packing in loads of FUN as well as learning how to follow Jesus in our lives today.
It's an amazing time in which we grow as a community of friends and build even deeper relationships with each other and with God.
Our guest speaker, Si says, "I want to help you to know what it is to have LIFE to the full through Jesus, now and into eternity
whilst helping those around you in your life to know that amazing truth too."
