Cre8 a Youth Club for 14-18's

Cre8 is for young people in Y9 - Y13 (or equivalent) and is held every Friday evening from 8.00 - 9.30pm at Hillview Church. The Cre8 programme is more informal than the younger youth clubs which seems to work better for this age group. Cre8 is a place to relax, chat and socialise, listen to music and buy tuck with an opportunity to play pool, table tennis, indoor football, basketball and console games. Periodically, special activities are organised to add variety to the usual programme.

As with the other groups, there is a brief talk led either by one of the leaders or occasionally by an outside speaker where a moral issue is explored or a relevant topic discussed. Cre8 is suitable for all local young people whether they attend church or not. Young people who have attended Crusader activities at Abbey are also encouraged to move on to Cre8.

Recently, Cre8 has joined forces with The Rock (St Philip & St James Church's Friday night youth work) so we operate a combined team, though the venue remains at Hillview. The leaders are Phil Cooper (Group Leader), Chris & Natasha Saunders, Becca & Chris Scourfield and students James Clarke and Amani & Esther Kyala.
