Welcome to our youth ministry at St John’s! We are thrilled to have you visit our website and learn more about the exciting opportunities we offer for young people (11-18year olds) in our congregation.
At St John’s, we seek to enable young people (11-18 years old) in West Ealing to BELONG to God and each other, SERVE God, one another and those around them, and GIVE to God, one another and those around them.
Our youth gatherings are not just events; we seek to transform, inspire, empower, and equip the young people to live out their faith with boldness, so they feel as though they BELONG, can SERVE, and GIVE.
We invite you to explore how you can get involved by scrolling down.
Sunday Mornings!
Join a team!
Ignited
At St John’s we believe a big part of being a member of a church is to SERVE. Therefore, we love to see our young people serving in the church and we have so many opportunities for them to do so! You can join the worship team, the kids team, the welcome team, tech team, hospitality team or anything else you’d like! If you’d like to get involved, please contact the Sam Bailey.
Ignited is our Sunday Youth Group. This happens on the second and fourth Sunday of the month. It is a great chance to meet and build relationships. Both with God and with one another. We look to ignite their faith and send them out to spread God’s Word. We achieve all of this through playing games, Bible Studies, prayer, and worship.
Midweek Groups
At Wednesday Night Youth, we aim to create a fun environment that is enjoyable and where young people can BELONG. There are loads of fun activities to do! We have pool, table tennis, video games, crafts, and more! We also have times of discussion about loads of different topics that are relevant to young people today. This group is for those in School Years 7-10. So come along and join us on Wednesday’s in term time from 6:30pm to 8pm in the Crypt at St John’s.
Meet and Eat
On Thursdays we run a great group called Meet and Eat with St Paul’s Ealing and St Mellitus Hanwell from 6pm to 9pm for those in School Years 11-13/College at St Paul’s Ealing. We meet together to cook a meal and then share in that meal. This leads to great times of building friendships and relationships, while seeking to discuss any questions the young people have about life, faith, and God.
West London Youth!
West London Youth or known as WLYouth is a group of churches coming together to help bring UNITY among the young people in West London by providing opportunities to PURSUE God while being DISCIPLED, leading the young people to REACH out to their peers and bring them into God’s Kingdom. While also seeking to SUPPORT youth leaders to do this all over West London.
The core opportunities we give the young people are through two events PURSUIT and REACH. I have outlined the details below.
Pursuit!
Pursuit is a worship night for young people to come to and unite in a time of worship, prayer, and teaching. This is also a great space to see discipleship happen with the young people while they pursue God. We also aim to see the young people take ownership of this event by being involved in the event in whatever way they feel they can.

Reach!
Reach are various social events throughout the year that look to bring young people together to grow in relationships with one another. Enabling the chance for young people and youth leaders to reach more young people and see those young people pursue God and seek out discipleship which leads to more young people becoming united in God’s Kingdom.
