Welcome to St Andrew’s Youth
St Andrew’s Youth is for everyone in Years 7–13. We are passionate about creating a place where every young person is known, valued and encouraged as they explore faith, build lasting friendships and grow in their relationship with God.
Everything we do is centred around our vision to Gather, Grow and Go. We gather to build authentic community and have fun together, grow as we discover God through the Bible and prayer, and go as we encourage one another to live out our faith, serve others and share the hope of Jesus wherever we go.
We meet on Sundays and throughout the week for youth groups, small groups and socials. Whether you are new to church, exploring faith or have been following Jesus for a long time, there is space for you, and we would love to welcome you.
If you have any questions about the Youth Ministry please do contact our Youth Team Leader Gemma: gemma@standrewshiston.org
Youth Work Registration Form
Registration is essential for all young people attending our youth activities. By registering, parents/guardians give the necessary permissions for their young person to attend and provide us with important contact and emergency information.

Regular Groups
Sundays
Forge is our Sunday morning group for young people in secondary school. We meet at 10:30am at St Andrew’s Church, Histon, where we join with the rest of our church family for Worship for Everyone, before heading to the Saint Andrew’s Centre for our own youth session.
Expect games, drinks and biscuits, and a Bible talk. Afterwards, we create space to respond through creative activities and discussion based stations that help us explore what we have heard and what it means for our lives.
The third Sunday looks a little different, we call it Forge Breakfast. We share a cooked breakfast together, then hear a member of our church family tell their story of faith and how God has been at work in their life.
Please contact the Youth Team Leader Gemma for more information or to book your place on Forge Breakfast
