Youth Project 

 

The Youth Project at St Barnabas Church has been running since 2005 with a paid youth worker and a team of volunteers.

Youth Project Mission Statement

“We, the family at St. Barnabas

seek to build a relationship

with the young people of the parish.

We will strive to support them as they grow,
