Young People

At St. Hilary Church, we are passionate about being inclusive of young people, welcoming them as a vital and valued part of our church family. We encourage their participation in every aspect of church life—through worship, music, service, and shared gatherings—so their voices, ideas, and gifts can shine. We believe that faith grows best when everyone feels seen, heard, and supported, no matter their age or background. Safeguarding and care are at the heart of all we do, ensuring that St. Hilary is a safe, nurturing space where young people can belong, grow in confidence, and explore their faith within a loving community.

Our Young Explorers met this week and explored the story of the Good Samaritan. I’m told it was one of their best sessions yet, with the children fully engaged and attentive throughout. The theme of “Kind hands, kind hearts” resonated deeply, as the children reflected not only on helping others in need, but also on showing compassion, empathy, and understanding in everyday actions.

Young Explorers

At St Hilary Church we invite all primary school–aged children to join our Young Explorers group.

 

We meet every two weeks after school, from 3:30pm, for a fun and friendly time filled with games, crafts, stories, and laughter. It’s the perfect way to unwind after the school day, make new friends, and explore exciting themes about life, faith, and the world around us.

This is a short video of our 2025 Palm Sunday service at St. Hilary Church, featuring the wonderful children from our Young Explorers group and the talented adults from our Open the Book team.

Open The Book

St Hilary Church has an excellent relationship with St. Hilary School, which is strengthened through Open the Book, a programme that brings Bible stories to life during school assemblies. Open the Book uses carefully written scripts that storytellers follow closely, ensuring that every story is shared clearly, respectfully, and in a way that’s accessible to everyone.
