A youth group for those in secondary school years 9-12 based at Walton Evangelical Church.

Tuesday nights 7-8.30pm (once a fortnight we join up with the younger Tuesday Club for games then split up into the age groups for bible study and discussion).

The club is attended by anything from 10 to 25 teenagers.

Tuesday night concentrates on bible study, discussion and prayer on topics that vary from basic Christianity, discipleship, and issues that teenagers face today. We want to encourage and disciple the young Christians in the church, and help them reach out to their friends. The club is open to anyone between the age of 13-18 (ish!).

Socials / Activities

Activities are planned into each term’s schedule so that we can get to know one another socially, and in the past have included, amongst many, canoeing, bowling, cinema trips, night walks, weekends away, mountain boarding, tobogganing, meals and parties. We don’t have Tuesday night studies during school holidays, but we do try and plan several social activities, particularly over the summer break.

Summer Activities

As part of the overall plan of activities, the teenagers are encouraged to take part in camps and events over the summer holidays. Recently these have included EMW Outdoor Camps, Beach Missions and Soul Survivor.

Other groups

As leaders we believe that it is important that teenagers do not see themselves and their church lives in isolation, but realise that there are other groups at nearby churches. We regularly meet up with local youth groups for meetings and events as a way of encouraging our own teenagers, as well as showing our support of other groups.

Youth Leaders

The youth leaders at Im’pakt are members at Walton Evangelical Church with a heart for working with teenagers. Currently the leaders are Brian and Janet Ayres.
