What is St Mike’s Youth?
St Mike’s Youth are the young people aged 11-18 of St Michael’s Church in Southfields. Young people who want to reflect Jesus through the way they live their lives in thoughts, words and actions. St Mike’s Youth is a place for faith, friendship, community, outreach and a lot of fun!
Sundays 6pm
On Sundays we meet during The Six service for worship, games and Bible teaching. It’s a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where we can encourage each other on our journeys with God.
Our usual routine is to meet as a whole in St Michael’s Church on the 1st Sunday of every month. We then meet for youth gatherings at St Michael’s Church on the other Sundays of the month through the winter, and on St Michael’s Church field (on Viewfield Road) through the Summer months.
Fridays 7:30-9pm
Once a month, we host an incredible Friday night just for young people (school years 7-13)!
Every month brings something new and exciting, from silent discos to laser tag, plus table tennis, gaming, a tuck shop, and more! It’s the perfect place to chill, have fun, and make lasting friendships.
Check the calendar below for dates—don’t miss out!
Cell Groups
Cell groups are where we gather together, usually as a year group & split boys/girls, to talk all things youth. These are often led by questions that the youth have about Christianity & what it means to be a Christian today. As a flavour of what we talk about, we’ve run bible studies, youth alpha and series on gossip. We also have a hot chocolate/snack together & play games.
These cell groups are a great time for the young people to dive deeper with God and build strong & lasting friendships with each other.
Events
Throughout the year, St Mike’s Youth get involved in different events - some residentials and others are just days or evenings out.
These include:
The Big Church Festival,
Dreaming The Impossible (DTI),
Socials,
October Light Party Halloween Alternative,
Joint Events with other churches,
Septemberfields Youth Festival on our church field…
… and much more!
