There is lots going on for the young people at Craigmore. For those in post-primary education we have a weekly Youth Club and Youth Fellowship on Friday nights.
Youth Fellowship meets from 7.30-8.30pm in the Upper Room at Craigmore and it’s open to anyone who wants to find out more about God and how to live life with and for Him. There are games, talks, and activities, and the opportunity to worship and pray together. You don’t have to be a Christian to come along; in fact, it’s a great place to ask questions and explore what the Christian faith is all about.
Craigmore Youth Club (CYC) has been running for over 25 years and runs every Friday from 8.30-10.15pm in the church halls. CYC offers a great chance to see friends and make new ones, get to know the fab leadership team, and have a safe place to hang out at the end of the week. There is a Wii, XBox, pool tables, tabletennis tables, football/unihoc, games and a tuck shop.
Once every 4-6 weeks we hold Coffee Bar for those in Year 11 and above from 10.15-11.45pm. This offers a more chilled out venue with tea and toast and the chance to catch up with each other on the sofas upstairs in the hall.
Due to large numbers on Fridays we provide junior and senior youth club on alternate nights, with all-age nights roughly once a month. Anyone in Year 8-9 is welcome at junior YC, while senior YC is for Year 11 and above. The lucky Year 10s may choose which youth club night to attend. For more up-to-date information on when each age group meets please contact Sheena.
Several times a year we take a trip to the Antrim Forum for football, squash, badminton, swimming and bowling, along with a crucial visit to the chippie afterwards! We sometimes hold other special events, especially in the summer, including girls/lads nights, day trips, movie nights, and sponsored events for charity. A highlight in the CYC calendar is our annual Easter Camp held at Castlewellan Castle, where the mixture of water fights, worship, late night fun and beautiful surroundings make each year very memorable!
