Our vision for young people:
The Parish of Chandlers Ford is a place where young people can explore and be inspired in their faith, engage in positive relationships and serve their friends and community. Our youth groups meet every week during term time in a variety of locations and groups. Our prayer is to see them ‘Loving Jesus, Loving People and Making Disciples’.
Midweek Youth Groups:
Wildfire is a high energy youth group that provides a space for young people to be young people, with lots of fun, food and games. As well as this, Wildfire is a safe space to build friendships and chat to peers and adults finding both support and celebration through life’s highs and lows.
