The Church of the Holy Nativity, Mixenden, Halifax, West Yorkshire, HX2 8RX
We are a friendly and inclusive Christian community serving Mixenden and Illingworth in North Halifax! Everyone in this community is welcome with us.
About the Organisation
Holy Nativity turns 70 this year and the building has been at the heart of the community for all of that time, being originally funded by public subscription and arriving as a ‘flat pack’ church back in 1954. We are a vibrant and inclusive community hub that serves both the congregation and the broader Mixenden and Illingworth area. our youth group caters for Year 5-9 - it is really popular and we have a limited number of spaces and so have a waiting list.
Our youth group takes place on Tuesday evenings from 7-8.30pm. We are looking for volunteers who are creative and willing to engage with a lively group of young people. You will be involved in planning and helping with activities and discussions and our occasional days out. As well as fun and games, craft activities and trips, we focus on issues around growing up and how we decide who we want to be in life.
What are we looking for?
What will you get from us?
You will require patience, imagination and the willingness to engage with a large, lively group.
You will also need empathy and understanding of the issues facing our young people locally
A full induction will be given to anyone coming forward and we will always work with you to discover what gifts or talents you have to offer even if (especially if) it’s something we haven’t thought of yet!
