We are a community of young people who value encountering God, being transformed by the Spirit and sharing Jesus.
Encounter
We love spending extended times in God's presence through worship and prayer because we know that in the midst of a busy life when we set everything else aside to worship we begin to encounter God and he leads us by his love.
Transform
We value accountability and vulnerability when we do discipleship, because we know this leads to change in our lives. We want to continually transform into people of integrity, compassion, and joy just like Jesus.
Share
When we know something is really good we can't hold back telling people about it! We believe that with the Holy Spirit's help we can share what it means to be Jesus followers through our loving words and actions to those around us. It's naturally supernatural.
events
Sundays
After worship at the 10:45 am service secondary school and sixth form students head upstairs to the Upper Hall for bible study. We'll read a passage, get a little historical context, then split into discussion groups. In these groups we'll try to think of how to apply what we've heard to our lives. After we pray for one another, we will play a game and finish at about 12:30.

TERMLY
Youth afterparty
We love what servant-hearted teenagers we have at St Barnabas! About once a term our B.Kids Ministry hosts big events like 'The Night of Light' or 'Pancake Party'. Youth that volunteer as group leaders get rewarded with pizza afterwards.
