Children & Families

We love having children and young people around at St Leonard’s and we want to care for them, value them and include them in the life of the church. On Sundays we spend time all together at our 10.30am service before going into groups for age related learning and worship. The Creche is available at all times. We also have activities during the week. See below for a summary of Sunday and midweek activities but do email slpfamiles@gmail.com for any more information or queries, or use the form on this page.

We provide a safe environment for our children and young people to grow in maturity and faith. See our safeguarding page for information concerning our safeguarding policy and practice.

Youth

There has been a thriving youth work at St.Leonard’s for many years, and the church is so pleased to see young people beginning and continuing a faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that is vibrant and real. The young people are always willing to serve, passionate in worship, and eager to be a part of the transformation the gospel brings to ourselves and the world around us. There are many opportunities for engagement with each other, from gathering on Sundays to small groups throughout the week.

Cell Groups are at the heart of everything we do with our youth ministry. They are unapologetically Christian small groups, split into school years, that are open and accessible to people of any faith or none, who are interested in exploring what the Christian faith has to say about things that happen in our everyday lives. We meet once a week, eat some food, play some games and explore the Christian faith together through discussion and prayer. Years 9-10 meet on Tuesdays, Years 7-8 meet on Wednesdays and years 11-13 on Thursdays.
