Youth Groups (Yrs 7-13)
NBC is passionate about reaching and serving young people in Nailsea.
We believe that young people are an integral part of church life, and our social and discipleship activities reflect this. Young people are encouraged to explore, develop and use their gifts, and there are plenty of opportunities to do this at NBC. The young people take part in our services, and have opportunities to periodically lead services.

Other Youth Activities
The Mix, Clevedon Youth Church and more!
Throughout the year we attend other youth events and activities that we try and publicise through our other groups.
The Mix: a Christian worship event for church youth groups in and around Bristol; it runs 4 times a year on a Friday night and on those evenings we swap out FAST and attend The Mix. More info can be found at www.themixbristol.co.uk
Clevedon Youth Church: On the 3rd Sunday of the month, 7-8.30pm, we encourage our young people to attend Clevedon Youth Church which is jointly run by Christchurch Clevedon and Clevedon Baptist Church youth groups. They gather together as youth from across Clevedon and surrounding areas to have a time of worship, a short talk, and a time for response and prayer ministry. There is also always a game and snacks!
Encounter: A Christian Youth Event for Nailsea, held at Holy Trinity Church, Nailsea. Be on the lookout for dates for upcoming Encounter events. Next Encounter event will be January 14th at 6.00pm!
Residentials: We also facilitate opportunities for our young people to attend residentials or summer camps curated especially for young people who are at varying stages of faith - even those who don't have one! Get in touch with our youth worker if you'd like to know more about any of these.
