Youth and Children
Sue Jackson, our Children's Pastor, has a heart to see children and their families find friendship with Jesus.
Eseabasi Ntefon, our Youth and Children's Pastor, is passionate about showing the love of Christ to young people.
Holy Trinity has an active and vibrant ministry to children, young people and families from the church and the local community. We believe that children and young people can enjoy a rewarding relationship with Jesus, play an active role in their community and that they can fully take part in the life of the church.

Youth Worship Night // Saturday 23rd November
Ages: 11-18
Time: 5-8pm
By the youth, for the youth; Revival Youth Worship Night is an idea born out of some of the young people's desire to worship God for an extended time, while also bringing friends along to experience the love and presence of God. We believe that this will be a life-changing evening for many young people and would LOVE yours to be part of this night, either by attending or by serving on the team (worship, refreshments, ushering, etc).

Let's do it again!
