Growing Young
We are listening to young people. We are giving decisions and leadership to young people.
Parents, young adults, people in training, students, pupils, teenagers, children: we want to know what your life is like, what you miss. We want to be with you and for you.
'Snooshed' youth group,   Young adults group,   Messy Church,   Junior Church/Sunday School   - these are ready to explore now. 
(For 'Muddy Church' / 'Outdoors Faith'  we want to hear from 'outdoorsy people' what they (you) would find suitable.)

Young people & children in Sunday morning church: We are very relaxed about children moving and talking in church. There is a play corner with activity table and toys - children can move freely to and fro.
We want our young people to give the direction what works best for them.
Join other young people here on Sundays normally:
 9:30 in Abernyte Church activity table , 
 9:30 in Inchture Sunday School (*not in school holidays*), 
 9:45 in Auchterhouse, 
 11.00 in Invergowrie Junior Church (plus toys at activity table)


Worshipping Christ - in diverse ways:

in church, we worship Christ, using a mix of the new and the old:  
reading from the bible, singing songs, thoughts/reflections, story-telling and prayers led by worship leader and others. 
All ages, including young people are always welcome. For when / where see 'Events calendar' .
Services of worship are always public, everyone is welcome anytime. 
We call it a 'service' because it's meant to be refreshing and maintaining for our spirituality, just like a service.

  • Sunday morning services 9.30am each in both Abernyte and Inchture, 9:45am in Auchterhouse, 11am each in all Invergowrie, Longforgan, Muirhead
