Children and youth

The Parish of Basingstoke Down is privileged to be a place where so many children and young people live.

Our aim is do everything we can to teach children about God and nurture the growing faith of children and youth by providing age appropriate opportunities both here at church during Sunday worship and at many other times in and out of our church buildings during the week.

• Open the book
  Open the book is a Bible Society project which offers primary school children the chance to hear key Bible stories.
• God’s gifts
  In this group, we do various activities including singing, various crafts, watching a DVD, acting games, reading stories and and we like to finish off with some time to pray together.
• The zone
  On the first Friday of each month St Mark’s Church opens up the church to young people in school years 6-8 (ages 10 to 13) to relax and meet up with friends.
