Youth Ministry

ECNY is the youth ministry of Elim Church Northampton, created for young people in Years 7 to 11. Our heart is to help every young person become devoted to God, grow as a disciple of Jesus, and show kindness in their everyday world. If you’re in secondary school, there is a place for you here.

We believe faith should be real, relevant, and lived out – and that ECNY should be full of fun, friendship, and moments that shape your future. Whether you’ve grown up in church or are exploring faith for the first time, you are welcome.

Our Gatherings

Sunday Youth - during the 10:30am Service

Each Sunday, our young people head out partway through the service for their own session. Expect Bible teaching, discussion, worship, and space to ask questions and grow in your faith – all in a relaxed, friendly environment.

Friday Night Youth - once a month, 7–9pm

Once a month we gather for a high‑energy Friday night packed with worship, teaching, games, and time to hang out. It’s a brilliant place to bring friends, build community, and explore what it means to follow Jesus. For details of the next event, visit our Events page.

What We’re About

At ECNY, we want every young person to:

• Know God personally

• Grow in confidence and purpose

• Build strong friendships

• Explore the Bible in a real and relevant way

• Have fun and enjoy life together

We believe young people are world‑changers, and we’re committed to helping them step into everything God has for them.

Safeguarding

Your safety matters to us. All our youth leaders are safely recruited, fully trained, and DBS‑checked, following our safeguarding policies and best‑practice guidelines. You can trust that every young person is cared for in a safe, supportive environment.
