Youth Group
Growing in Faith Together
Our Youth Group is a place where children and teenagers from the parish and wider Smethwick community come together to build friendships, ask big questions, and grow in their faith. Every session is led by DBS checked volunteers in a safe, welcoming space.
Age Groups
Sessions run in parallel so every young person finds a group suited to their age.
Juniors
Games, crafts and simple Bible stories that introduce younger children to their faith in a fun, welcoming setting.
Seniors
Discussion-led sessions on faith and life, service projects, and trips that help teenagers grow in confidence and community.
What We Get Up To
Games & Socials
Team games, quiz nights and social evenings that build friendships across the parish.

Guided conversations about scripture, the sacraments and everyday questions of faith.
Service Projects
Food bank collections, care home visits and community clean-ups that put faith into action.
