Children & Youth

On Sunday mornings we run Sunday Clubs for children and young people. A chance to study the bible together during the sermon in a way that is directly relevant to children & young people. Young people are more than welcome to stay in the services on a Sunday.

Crèche is provided for any parent and toddler during the morning service. It is staffed entirely by our own parents with some helpers. This is an informal time of chat and play, in a relaxing environment.

Our fun and supportive parent and baby/toddler group runs every Friday at Newent Community Centre starting at 10am. It’s for pre-school age kids and their parents/guardians to come, have fun and share life together. We have a movers group (toddlers) and a non-movers group (babies) in separate areas and leaders to chat to about the joys and struggles of parenting. We also run parenting courses every now and then as well as mental health support for parents. Contact us to find out more about those.

Friday Hub Club 4.45pm – 6pm at Newent Community Centre (NCC – a youth group for primary age children)

GYG is a youth group organised by Glebe Chapel for young people of school years 6 – 11. GYG runs on Friday evenings from 7:30 to 9pm (term time only). It’s 50p to come along and there is a tuck shop each week too. GYG is based at Newent Community Centre where sports, games, activities are organised whilst also providing space to just chill. Each week there is a short ‘God Spot’ which is taken by one of the leaders. This is a short talk based on a topic or issue relevant to young people from a Christian perspective.

Each week, a group of young people meet in various homes to study the Bible together. This is led by a youth leader and snacks are provided too!

Branch is a monthly youth worship event for all Churches in the local area. The event provides an opportunity for young people from across the Forest of Dean to meet up and includes sung worship, Bible teaching and food.
