Youth Work

Here at Christ Church Haydock URC we welcome every young person who enters through our doors. We provide a friendly, warm and safe environment for children and teenagers to come and meet with friends and other new people. Throughout the week there are a variety of clubs for young people to go to. Click below to find out more!

Sunday Club

The Sunday Club is open to all children between the ages of 3 +. We meet on a Sunday morning in Church at 10.45 a.m. and share fellowship with the church family for about 20 mins before moving to our own rooms. Here the children take part in activities such as games, bible stories, making crafts and sharing prayers. Anyone who comes along is sure of a warm welcome as we try to teach all of the children about the love of God and His kingdom both on Earth and in Heaven.
