Welcome to our youth pages. Young people are really important to us here at CoGS. We believe that God has an amazing plan for each and every young person and we are passionate about helping them to discover what that is. We are committed to seeing our young people united within the church and consistently growing in God. Have a look around to see what we get up to and how you could be a part of it! For more information, please get in touch with the contact for the relevant group.

When is it on: Most Friday Evenings 7.15pm-9pm at COGS
Contact: The Church Office
Who is it for: From 11 up
Once Friday nights were the dullest of the week, nothing to do and nowhere to go. That was until Ngage came along.
Ngage is a first contact group for young people and a social group for all those over 11 involved in the youth ministry at CoGS. Ngage is run by a group of committed volunteers who provide free hot food, as well as a warm friendly atmosphere and a listening ear. There are activities such as 5 a side football, games consoles projected onto big screens, a nailbar for the girls and the best hot chocolate for miles around. Also from time to time we go on trips out or do special events at CoGS.

When is it on: Every Sunday Morning (except first Sunday of the month) during the 10am service
Contact: The Church Office
Who is it for: School years 7,8 and 9
Sunday morning used to be peaceful and serene and then Y:Front happened. Think you know what the Lads and Lasses get up to on a Sunday morning? Think again. We’re serious about what it means to live out our faith and we’re up for learning how that works for us. Typical meeting? No such thing, but you can bet it involves the chance to ask questions and find out more about what God has really got to say to us today. Don’t worry about the nutters up front, you will get used to them and they mean well. Bring it on and we’ll see you in the “ape man bull”
Aftershock Boys Discipleship Group
When is it on: Fortnightly on a Wednesday evening 6:30pm-7:30pm
Contact: The Church Office
Who is it for: Boys from year 7 onwards
Aftershock is about the shock wave that Jesus has on our lives after the initial impact He has once we have decided to follow him. For lads in year 7 and above we look at how Jesus is relevant to our lives today at school, college and home. And because Jesus is interested in every part of our life we get out and about as well. From bowling to weekends away we are looking at living our lives for Jesus all the time not just on Sunday. Come on over and find some new mates and join in the fun.
