We aim to support and nurture the youngest members of our community from babies to toddlers, to children, to youth. Various groups during the 10:45 am Sunday service and throughout the week provide a warm welcome and a friendly space to make friends, discover the Bible and explore the Christian faith in a safe environment.
Each week, Bible stories and action songs cover a different theme. Parents are encouraged to sit with their children during these sessions.
Participants share stories with one another, play games, sing songs, listen to Bible stories and make crafts. Throughout the year there are also many seasonal events for children in this age group.
In addition to meeting on Sunday mornings throughout the year, our youth goes on two weekends away and to a summer youth festival. Follow the group on Instagram (@ccaymomentum)

Children and youth ministry is an important part of our church life at Christ Church Aughton. As we await the arrival of Adam Post to lead this ministry at our church, let’s look at one example of youth group friendships in our church spanning many years. Elsie and Bill Lunt formed the Christ Church Youth Group in the 1950s, meeting up on Friday evenings for a talk, followed by dancing to music played on the piano by Mr. Coffey. The group organized school concerts and dances in the Aughton Institute, and they joined the “Liverpool Association of Boys and Mixed Clubs" with whom they enjoyed occasional weekends away in Llangollen, Wales. Their enjoyment of dancing took them to into Liverpool for big occasions when the men wore a smart suit and the ladies wore a ball gown. As the years went by, several of these early friendships developed into lasting marriages and the group drifted apart. However, it reformed several years ago to enjoy weekends away in the Lake District and North Wales. More recently, several group members meet up once a month for lunch in Cafe Vista to catch up on recent events and to share memories of their early days together. Elsie and Bill Lunt would be thrilled to know that by God’s grace, this group has remained friends for more than 75 years.
