A supernatural Youth community that is all about Jesus!
We’re all about helping young people grow into everything God has planned for them. We want to see the youth in our community thrive and step into the fullness of life that Jesus promises!
Our youth programme at Gold Hill seeks to see them recognise and be released into their purpose and potential. All while staying rooted in God’s word through biblical, relevant and accessible teaching, encountering God for themselves and building community together.
If you would like to know more about the youth ministry that takes place at Gold Hill do get in touch with Shona Hunter-Singh, our Children and Youth Minister. Shona would love to hear from you, and you can email her at Shona.Hunter-Singh@goldhill.org

Meet Shona!
Children & Youth Minister
Shona leads our ministry with children and young people. She is passionate about those who are younger developing their own relationship with God, experiencing life in all its fulness and thriving in all that God made them to be.
“I want to shatter the myth that children and young people’s experience of God is somehow of less value than that of adults. At Gold Hill, as in the Bible, God uses those who are younger to teach us deep truths, and I love being part of releasing that in them.”
Youth Bible Study Hub
Every other week @ the Hub
- Youth Dinner (£2.50 pp) @ 6:00pm-6:30pm
- Youth Bible Hubs @ 6:30pm-7:30pm
Every other Tuesday we will have a Youth Bible Study Hub. We’ll start with dinner at 6pm and then split into different ‘hubs’. To start, we’ll have one for younger youth (11-14s) and one for older youth (15-18s). This may change each term, depending on what we’re doing but don’t worry – we’ll let you know in advance!
Over the years we’ve covered a whole load of different topics from the big questions about faith to walking through a book of the Bible together. Each session is accessible, engaging and a great opportunity to go deeper into God’s word.
MEETS EVERY OTHER TUESDAY DURING TERM TIME. The next few meetings are:
Mentoring
Mentoring offers the opportunity for young people to meet with one of the youth team to journey through different parts of life. We’ll usually go to a local coffee shop, be in a relaxed and informal environment and just have time to talk life together.
It may be that they want to meet with someone to help grow in reading their Bibles or it may just be wanting to talk through the challenges of school. We always talk through what they want to use the time for and it is always done with the agreement of parents/carers.
