Chanctonbury

Youth

Hi we’re Andy and Lillie Storey, and together we lead the Youth at Chanctonbury Church.

We are hungry to see God transform and work through the lives of the young people here in West Sussex. We want all young people to know how loved they are by their Heavenly Father, to encounter and be led by the Holy Spirit and to build their lives upon the rock of Jesus’s teachings.

We long for young people to never grow out of their garments of praise, to firmly tread on the narrow path every day of their lives, even in the darkest of valleys. Join us to help you become pioneers of the Possible, whilst laughing in the face of the fear of the improbable.

So if you’re in school years 7–13, come and join us. Let’s journey together and see what story the Lord has in store for your life!

1:1 Mentoring

Mentoring is a one-to-one relationship between a young person and a member of the Chanctonbury Youth Team or an ‘Approved Volunteer’ that seeks to support, encourage and build the young person in their faith. We’re currently offering 1:1 monthly mentoring slots for youth in school years 11-13.

Nothing is Impossible

Looking after your mental health

Life can throw you a curve ball! You may be having a tough start, a tough day, a tough night or just a tough life. We want you to know that you can do this! Looking after our mental health is so important. We can all do this together.

Have a heart for youth?

Join the Youth Team! This could mean serving at Sunday gatherings, midweek groups, Christian Union, or mentoring sessions. Our aim is to come alongside young people, helping them experience God’s kingdom and be equipped to be the church of today and tomorrow.
