Cogges Youth

Our Vision

Discipleship: We want to equip, empower and release young people to be lifelong disciple-making followers of Jesus.

Community: We want to create a community of trust, vulnerability, encouragement and challenge, where everybody has unique gifts and personalities to bring to the group.

Growth: Whether you are exploring faith, growing in your relationship with God or up for investing in others, you are welcome at Cogges Youth and we want to help you grow, wherever you are at.

Groups and Programmes

**Youth Group**

We currently run two youth group gatherings that aim to help young people to encounter Jesus and learn how to flourish through a relationship with Him. In these groups we help young people discover who God says they are, wrestle with the big questions of life, learn how to pray, worship and be led by God and his Word.
Year 9-13 Youth meet 7-8.30pm on Wednesday evenings at the Church Centre. Year 6-8 Youth meet 10.30-11.30am during our service at Wood Green School.

We offer three mid-week interest groups for young people in the Witney community. These groups offer a safe space to develop their interests and build genuine relationships with other young people and caring adults.
We offer the following tracks: Fitness, Youth Band, and Creativity & Wellbeing on alternate Wednesdays 7-8.30pm. Contact Joy for the dates of upcoming Track evenings.

**Mentoring**

This is an opportunity for young people to connect one-to-one or in a small group with a member of our team to discuss things that are happening in their life, explore faith, to ask questions and to grow as a disciple. Mentor and mentee normally meet for about an hour a week to support, encourage and challenge the young people in their walk with Jesus.

We believe that young people grow and develop when they get out of their comfort zone. Throughout the year we offer youth residentials, mission trips and opportunities to gather with other young Christians.
