Youth Ages 11-18

We’re so blessed to see a growing number of incredible young people becoming part of the St. Luke’s family.

At St. Luke’s Youth, we’re all about creating a space where faith comes alive, friendships grow, and young people feel truly seen and supported. During term time, we host Youth Nights every Friday evening and on both Sunday mornings (all youth) and evenings (older youth only) we gather in groups to explore the Bible together.

But here’s what makes it even more special: we’re not just doing ministry for our youth—we’re shaping this journey with them. That’s why we love to see young people stepping up to be part of the team, volunteering as helpers, leaders, and encouragers.

Our heart is to walk alongside every young person, offering support and community as they wrestle with real-life faith and grow in their relationship with God.

SERVING AT CHURCH

We encourage all our youth to get involved in serving church once a month. Some serve on the worship team, the kids team, the production team, taking photos, kids registration, welcome and more. They are a talented bunch!

We also encourage our youth to serve at New Wine, and they do an amazing job serving at different events throughout the year, including our annual holiday club.

Space & FUSE Events

There are amazing things happening across Maidstone with churches working together, especially for young people. The SPACE events happen regularly, enabling our young people to meet with others from across the churches in Maidstone to worship together and explore issues of faith. 

We’re all about youth! Whether it’s schools, charities, or businesses—if it means young people get to hear the gospel, count us in. Let’s partner and make it happen! Just contact us. We have growing relationships with local schools, charities & organisations and would love to hear from you if you want to get in touch.
