Youth
The teenage years come with joys, challenges, confusion and opportunities.
Jesus helps us navigate them all.
And we don’t navigate them alone. We want to have fun together making memories, build friendships that last, and grow in love and knowledge of Jesus together.
Pathfinders

Sunday Pathfinders

The Gathering
7:30-9pm
Once a half term we invite youth to The Gathering, 7:30-9pm at various locations. This is a Bristol-wide youth event where we all play games, hear a Bible talk, have lots of discussion opportunities and sing together. It’s a great reminder that we’re a part of something bigger than just Emmanuel.
