Vine Youth - Tuesday
Vine youth meet following the Tuesday drop-in sessions at 4:30-5:15pm for pizza plus.
Each week we play games, eat pizza, build friendships, and explore some of the big questions young people are asking today. Questions like: “Does science disprove God?”, “Why is there suffering?”, “What gives life meaning?”, and “How can I live my best life now?”
These conversations touch on real issues that matter to teenagers - identity, purpose, relationships, mental wellbeing, justice, faith, doubt, and the pressures of everyday life. It’s a space where young people can think honestly, ask difficult questions, share different opinions, and explore what they believe in a respectful and welcoming environment.
All views and perspectives are genuinely welcome. No question is “off limits,” and nobody is expected to already believe or agree with Christianity to be part of the conversation. Our leaders will share and discuss a Christian perspective on the topics we explore, but there is never any pressure for young people to accept those views. The aim is to create a safe space to seek, question, listen, and grow together.
Vine Youth - Sunday
Youth gather during the message portion of the service on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month.
These sessions are focused on helping young people grow in their faith, deepen their understanding of the Bible, and develop a real and lasting relationship with Jesus. Through engaging teaching, prayer, activities, and shared conversation, we aim to create a space where faith can be explored in a way that is relevant, honest, and rooted in scripture.
We encourage young people to ask questions, think deeply about what they believe, and discover how the teachings of Jesus speak into everyday life - including friendships, identity, challenges, decision-making, and purpose.
Our desire is to help young people not only learn about God but also encounter Him personally and grow in confidence in living out their faith within school, family life, friendships, and the wider world.
Parent Expectations for That Tuesday Thing (TTT)
TTT is a safe, welcoming after-school drop-in space for young people in Years 6-13 to relax, meet friends, and enjoy age-appropriate activities. Free light refreshments are available, including toast, biscuits, soft drinks, and hot drinks, alongside games consoles, a pool table, board games, craft activities, and social space. The group is run by The Vine Community Church and led by volunteers from local churches. TTT is not a religious group and is open to all young people. A separate faith-based youth group follows the session for those who are interested.
Safeguarding and Safety
- The Vine Centre is risk-assessed and operates a clear safeguarding policy in place. All staff and volunteers hold current DBS checks. Accidents are recorded, a first aider is available and clear group rules on respect, language, physical contact and bullying are explained, displayed and enforced.
- The group runs after school, with most young people arriving directly from school. A sign in system is in place and encouraged, though signing in is the young person’s responsibility. As a drop-in group, young people are free to come and go. Responsible adults are present inside the building, but young people are not supervised on the parade. The session ends at 4:30pm, when parents/carers are responsible for their child’s safety when leaving the building.
Wellbeing and Inclusion
- All young people are treated with respect, regardless of belief, background, or personal views. Leaders aim to model kindness, integrity, and healthy relationships and respect family values.
- Young people are listened to and supported, with leaders able to signpost further help where needed (but not replace professional support). Reasonable adjustments can be made to support additional needs where possible, provided these are shared in advance.
- The group is supported by Christian volunteers, and their faith may naturally shape their values and conduct. Young people are not expected to share these beliefs, and there is no pressure to take part in faith discussions, which may arise naturally at times.
Communication
- A youth contact number is available for questions or emergencies during session times. Parents/carers can also get in contact using the main church number or alternatively by email.
