-YOUTH-
At Sutton Vineyard Youth we are passionate about seeing Young People grow in a faith that lasts.
We believe that the best way to do this is through relationships and providing plenty of spaces where the young people can come as they are, spend time hanging out together, opening the bible and digging deeper into the big questions of life.
Whether it be on a Sunday morning alongside the main services, or on a Sunday evening or Friday evening, Youth offers something for all our young people in School Years 6–13.
We look forward to welcoming your young person to Youth. If you have any questions or have a pastoral concern about your young person, please do email the Youth team at youth@suttonvineyard.org

To provide a community, which nurtures young people in their spiritual, emotional and physical wellbeing as they journey towards adult life as a follower of Christ.
-Youth on Sunday-
We meet every Sunday morning at Overton Grange alongside the main service. Young people join the first section of the main service for welcome, worship and to hear a Church updates. At the break they will leave the main service and head off to their group. We have three groups for different schools years.
Our Sunday morning youth sessions are a space to intentionally check-in with our young people before studying the Bible. We do this through interactive games, quizzes, small group discussions and activities which enable them to go from head-knowledge to heart-knowledge about God, growing week by week in their relationship with Him. We have a passionate and dedicated Youth Team who facilitate these sessions, each with their own unique gifts for the group they serve.
Launch does not meet on a week 4 as we encourage young people to serve on a team or sit in the main service.
-Youth Friday Night-
Youth Friday Night is a social space for all our youth and their friends to hang out. It runs on the 2nd and 3rd Friday Night’s of the month at Stayton House 7.30pm to 9pm.
The young people can mingle around, eat snacks and unwind after a week at school. There will be a number of various activities set up around the rooms including table tennis, pool, table football, X box, Board Games, Crochet/Knitting etc..
On the 4th Friday of the month we meet for our Friday Night Social and head out to different locations such as Bowling, Trampolining, Cray Golf etc. There is a small cost to cover the costs and sign up is essential.
