CHILDREN AND YOUNG pEOPLE

Children and Young People

We aim to have children, young people and families at the heart of life at St John’s Church. All ages are very welcome.
On Sunday mornings during term-time there is an Explorers group for Primary Age children and opportunities for all young people to be engaged in services. There is also a creche area at the back of the church with children’s books and activities.

Mid-week activities

Messy Church has been running monthly at St John’s since September 2021, in the church between 2-4pm. This service is for families to come together and take part in crafts, singing, fun and food. 

Messy Church normally takes place on the 2nd Saturday of the month. At present there are spaces so you can just turn up! 

The Toddler Group meets upstairs in church every Thursday during term-time between 9.15 and 10.30am. The cost is £1 per family to cover cost of refreshments.

To find out if there are places available at present please email Rev Emma emma.harte@durham.anglican.org 

The church Youth Group at present meets once a fortnight on a Tuesday evening during term-time at the vicarage between 6.30-8pm, currently for pupils in Years 7-9.

We have games, challenges,  crafts and opportunities to explore the Christian Faith together.

It is free, but an annual consent form needs to be completed to attend.
