Children, Youth and Families Ministry

Ministry to children, youth and families is a priority in the Parish of Tidenham. Click here to see our latest report.

We enjoy seeing our young people immersed in the love of God, for them to grow in personal faith and use their faith in everyday life. We are also committed to supporting families as they juggle the demands of daily life. Our young people are playing their part in the life and worship of the Church and are encouraged to progress through dedication, baptism, first Holy Communion and Confirmation. We also have close links to other  Churches and youth groups in Chepstow and the Forest Deanery, which provide Mission opportunities abroad for teens and social gatherings locally..

We are also committed to supporting parents and families as they juggle the demands of daily life and deal with the joys and challenges that come their way.

St Luke has an active Sunday School (Splash) which parents can attend with their children and crèche facilities for the really young ones. St Luke also has a family service on the first Sunday of each month at 11.00am, where all the family worship together.

As part of the Children, Youth and Families, the Parish employs a professional Children, Youth and Families Minister who works with the Vicar and many volunteers in the Parish to nurture people in the Christian faith and we are also closely linked to Sedbury Space which is a vibrant community facility.

The Parish takes the safety and well-being of children and young people, together with all those who are vulnerable, very seriously indeed. Read more about our Safeguarding
