Youth

A generation given to Jesus! In a day and age where there are so many different things telling them how to live and think, we aim to show them what Jesus says. It is our heart and motivation that youth would discover and know for themselves how Jesus sees them, how much He loves them and what their identity. Ages 11 to 18

Sunday Gathering

Come and experience Jesus' presence as He gathers His people! Our meetings begin at 10:30am with Café Church. A time to meet and connect over a brew and a few snacks. Our worship begins at 11:00am where we focus on ministering to God by speaking well and thanking Him. God loves to respond to His people and regularly speaks through prophetic words. We break bread every week and during this time honour Jesus with our tithe and offerings. Around 11:45am we normally have announcements and a time for parents to take their kids for Kids group. From around 11:45am the word is preached while Kids group is on downstairs. Around 12:25pm we close the meeting and parents collect their children. Once the meeting is closed we encourage people to continue talking and use the downstairs Café area. https://allnationsoldham.churchsuite.com/events/nnpxmyib
