Children &
Youth Programme

Young people of all ages can look forward to one of the very best weeks of their year in our children and youth programme. The energetic and fun-filled sessions are a great place for them to develop into strong, healthy followers of Jesus.

The sessions are designed to enable young people to hear from God in a safe environment and at a level appropriate to their age. The teaching and activities are of the highest quality: engaging, relevant and enjoyable, allowing children and youth to thrive in their relationship with Jesus and friendships with one another.

We provide downloads with both information and registration forms so that they can printed off and read before the event, perhaps even in the car/on the train on the journey. We hope that the information is helpful and that your children have a really enjoyable and safe time at New Word Alive this year.
