All Saints Youth
MEET JOEL
Joel Pollard is the youth pastor here at All Saints and has loved getting to know the young people of Peckham both inside and beyond the walls of our church. He writes:
This page includes an outline of what's going on right now. But to find out more about the youth provision we offer or to get involved in equipping passionate young disciples drop Joel a line using the button below.
Sunday Morning Youth
Our Sunday youth group is open to everyone from years 7 – 13 and every week we have a diverse range of youth open to hearing from Gods word!
In our teaching program we aim to invest in our youth and open up God’s word to them, whilst including them with discussion and questions, that encourage them to think about things that the Bible introduces.
Examples of topics include, salvation, discipleship, the love of God, and the life of Christ. We utilise the entire bible in conveying these topics, regularly reading from the full range of Old testament and New testament books.
The youth meet during the Sunday morning service so just follow the rest of us when we leave during the service.
In Winter and Spring 2025 we're looking at material from 24-7 Prayer and looking at our own prayer lives. We also regularly take prayer walks into Peckham, asking God what He wants to show us and putting our prayers into action by offering to pray for others. The young people have loved growing in confidence in this and seeing God answer our prayers!
We work hard to include all the young people who come along. We'll ask new young people or parents to fill in an 'about me' form so we can understand any additional needs they might have and cater for them appropriately as we learn together.

THURSDAY YOUTH
Equipping young people to live the Gospel, by helping them to build on their relationships with Jesus and with each other. We're also creating a space they can invite friends to, a fun way to explore faith in Jesus.
Joy 412 is for school years 5&6 and meets in the church on Thursdays between 3:30 and 5pm.
THURSDAY YOUTH is for school years 7-11 and takes over the church hall from 6:30pm - 8pm.
Please contact Joel (joel@allsaintspeckham.org.uk) or Becky (becky@allsaintspeckham.org.uk) for more information.
Every week at THURSDAY YOUTH we have snacks, games, hangout times, Bible input and room for discussion. This term we are exploring the material from YOUTH ALPHA, joining a conversation on life, faith and purpose. If you're a young person with biog questions about life you'd be so welcome to join in. Drop Joel an email to find out more.
Youth Outreach
Together with youth charity XLP, All Saints are out meeting young people on the Pelican Estate every Monday afternoon after school. With football, gaming and the odd trip to Creams for dessert! Come along to say hi!

We're hoping to take a group away to Satellites again this summer, camping from 6-10TH August 2025, at the Bath & West Showground in Somerset. This Christian festival brings together youth groups all over the country for 5 days with a vision to inspire teenagers to live with God at the centre of their lives for the other 360 days of the year.
