Youth

Our youth meet on a Sunday morning during the 10.15am service. We also have a Tuesday night group. During the Summer, our young people also have the opportunity to go on a week-long residential to Cumbria. Read on to find out more! If you would like more information, then please email youth@allsaintsilkley.org.

Please note that whilst our Phase 2A development works are ongoing (January to March 2025), our children and youth provision on a Sunday morning will be a little different to normal. Please visit our Services page for more information. TNT and Release will continue to meet, but in Church rather than Church House. 

Sunday morning: Focus

For Secondary aged youth, during the Sunday 10.15am service

Focus is our secondary aged youth Bible study session. They used to meet in our link building but in 2023 they quickly began to outgrow this space. Now Focus meet together at the start of the 10:15am service and once everyone has arrived they head over to Outside the Box where there is a bigger space to meet without interruption. They play games and work through a variety of materials to help focus their thoughts – all whilst having a laugh!

Sunday evening: Release

for secondary aged youth, 6pm to 8pm in church house

Release is our youth group for secondary school aged children and meets on Sunday evenings from 6pm to 8pm.

Release is a space for young people to meet and make friends and support one another. Lots of fun and games, with a short talk at the end of the evening, usually about something topical or a guest speaker talking about their faith. 

All welcome! 

Tuesday evening: TNT - Tuesday Night Teaching

For years 8 to 13, Tuesday night 7.30pm to 9pm in Church house 

This is a Christian group, but that doesn’t mean you have to be or become a Christian to join us. Rather, it is an inclusive, non-judgmental forum for asking the big questions about God, Jesus, the Bible and Life, so that teenagers can make their own informed decisions about faith and other life choices. We also seem to have a good deal of fun and quite a few chocolate biscuits!
