Groups, Courses and Activities
Our youth group CUBE for years 8-13 meets each Sunday in the rooms next to the church between 7-8.30pm. Part social, part Bible-teaching, this is a great place to hang out with friends, have fun and go deeper with God.

We run Alpha courses or similar most years normally in January but see our website www.christchurchguildford.com for details of the next course
