Youth and Children's Work in our Parish

For the under 3's, there is a crèche in church during the 10:00am Parish Communion Service.

Once your child is 3 years old, he or she can become a member of our Junior Church.

Junior Church is held every Sunday, during term time. It takes place in the Oldham Hall, Church street (next to Great Missenden School) and starts at 10:00am, with sessions for children from 3 to 14 years
The children can enjoy learning about God through Bible stories, games, craft and other activities.

The children are escorted up to the Church in time for communion, where they can rejoin their parents. Don't worry, if you are not in Church, we will look after them, until you pick them up after the service.

On their 14th birthday, the children can join Wyred, our main youth group.


There are lots of exciting new developments happening in our Youth work, including;

  • A Re-launch of the group previously known as 21Cent, now newly renamed by the young people themselves as REACH - ‘Religious Education And Christian Help’, and this has a new logo, also designed by the young people (on an iPad!), shown below

    Reach logo

    REACH is open to girls and boys from school years 5-8 (ie ages 9-13), and will meet during the church services on the 2nd and 3rd Sundays of the month.

  • RESOUND
