Children, Youth & Families (CYF)

You’re Invited!

At Godalming Minster we love joining with parents and carers to help children, families and young people learn to love God and follow Jesus for the whole of their lives. We have groups for different ages which meet on Sundays, and there are mid-week meetings and activities for the older youth in our great youth facilities at the Old Rectory. We look forward to welcoming you and your child soon,

SUNDAYS 2024

1st Sundays of the Month
Muddy Church
Replaces the 10.30am Contemporary Service.
We are part of the pilot for Muddy Church, an all age service, and meet in different outdoor locations, usually alternating between the Jack Phillips Memorial and Holloway Hill Recreation Ground. Check the calendar for details.


2nd-5th Sundays at Contemporary

Children’s Groups run during the 10.30am Contemporary Service at Church Street. Please come and join the start of the service in church as a family. After approximately ten minutes, you will be invited to take your children to their groups in the Octagon. Pick up is also from these locations at the end of the service.

For the very youngest children, there is an unstaffed Creche area at the back of church.


Hambledon (except 3rd Sundays)

Our children’s group runs during our morning worship at 10am at Church Lane, Hambledon.
