Our heart
St John’s Youth exists to see young people encounter God and equipped to be life-long disciples in loving community growing in relationship, character and gifting, fully integrated into church, with a heart for mission.
St John’s Youth Ministry is made up of Pathfinders (school years 7-9), Authentic (school years 10-13) and Youth Socials (school years 7-13).
“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil, cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honour one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervour, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.”
Upcoming events

Authentic is a group that explores Scripture and seeks to apply it to our lives. Join us if you want to know more about God’s word and have fun whilst studying it. Our older youth usually attend the 18.00 gathering together. Contact Henry our Youth Pastor on henryfrankel@stjohnsharborne.org if you would like to find out more about Authentic and where they meet.
Midweek Events
Socials
For school years 7-11
Occasionally we run youth socials, which are monthly events for anyone in secondary school. Each social has a different theme, such as Board Games & Milkshakes or Screens & Spa. Everyone is welcome to come and hang out with old friends and meet new ones too. Check out our upcoming events for details of our next Social.
Any youth attending Socials will need to complete a consent form.

Revolution
Revolution is when our youth small groups meet, chill out, eat cake, play games and spend time creatively worshipping, praying and listening to some brilliant talks together. We have separate Revolution evenings for Pathfinder and Authentic ages. Check out our upcoming events for more details.
