Our Vision:
We want our groups to be the best time of our young people’s week, the place where they make friends, discover God’s love and how to live life to the full!
Malmesbury Abbey are looking to recruit a part time (job share) Children’s & Families Worker. For further details click here. For a full job description click here. For an application form click here.
Most of the groups meet on Sunday during our 4pm service.
Rock Pool: (children aged 0 to 2 1/2)
A safe and fun space for our youngest children to play, rest and learn about the God who loves them, with a very capable team. Rockpool is situated towards the back of the Abbey.
Lighthouse: (school years 1 to 6)
The children spend time together singing, learning and playing games before breaking off into smaller groups where they can form friendships and think together about the bible stories. Lighthouse takes place in Eilmer House.
Wave: (school years 7 to 9)
Provides an engaging and attractive programme for both churched and unchurched young people and is a combination of games and discussion. This group meets in Eilmer House.
The Boat: (school years 10 to 13)
Builds on the vision of Wave, while giving young people the opportunity to take on leadership responsibilities within the youth and other children’s ministries and wider church. This group meets in Eilmer House from 6pm to 8pm after the Sunday 4pm service.
Deeper: (school years 7 to 13)
Deeper is a mid-week gathering which gives our youth the opportunity to go deeper in their faith within a smaller group. They meet on Wednesday evenings to study the bible, pray and encourage one another.
We also run our Little Stars baby and toddler group which meets in the Abbey on Mondays from 10:00am to 11:30am.
Ministry Survey
On Saturday 30 January 2021 the PCC met to think about our ministry to children, youth and families over the coming years. In preparation for that meeting members of the church family and wider community completed a survey about what we are doing well and how this vital ministry can continue to make a difference in the years ahead.
