At Croydon Vineyard we are passionate about raising sons and daughters who love being part of the church, love doing the stuff of the Kingdom, and who love discovering more about how amazing Jesus is. Our 11-18 year old groups, Magnify and Alyve, meet every Sunday at Harris Academy Purley (Kendra Hall). We have a range of midweek gatherings, residential trips and social events for our 11-18 year olds to get involved in. To find out the latest on Magnify and Alyve, please contact lara@croydonvineyard.org.uk
MAGNIFY
Our Year 7-8 group, Magnify, meets every Sunday at the Sunday Morning Service from 09:30am-10:55am or the Sunday Afternoon Service from 11:30am-12:55pm. These are duplicate services so you can come along to either one!
ALYVE
Our Year 9-13 group, Alyve, meets every Sunday mornings at our 9:30 and 11:30am services.
In our groups, we value:
Having fun!
Youth is a place of joy for the young people of Croydon. We love games, sports, social times, fun and laughter. It’s a place for young people to enjoy themselves and form strong friendships. We have a fantastic group of fun-loving volunteers who love to join in and enable this!
Doing the stuff of the Kingdom!
We love to see young people taking the lead - whether that be leading youth sessions, playing in the church worship bands, taking the initiative in their schools and colleges, giving talks, praying for each other, leading small groups or in countless other ways.
Seeing how amazing Jesus is
Our prayer and our passion is that all the young people of Croydon would have multiple opportunities to see and experience amazing Jesus is and how he can transform their lives.
DTI: DREAMING THE IMPOSSIBLE
As a youth group, we attend DTI: Dreaming The Impossible each summer.
Each summer, the young people from Croydon Vineyard Church attend DTI: Dreaming The Impossible and we'd love for your young person to come! Join us for this National Youth Conference from 2nd-7th August 2025, at Stafford Showground!
DTI is for young people in Year 7-13 and is an amazing time of worship,
teaching, breakthroughs, community building and lots of fun! Last year, we saw young people physically healed, respond to calls for leadership, encounter God in profound ways, build deeper friendships, speak in tongues for the first time and so much more. There'll be lots to get up to in the daytime with sports, seminars, different cafes and venues. Check out dreamingtheimpossible.org for more information!
To attend this residential with Croydon Vineyard Youth, we do require your young person to be in regular attendance of one of our youth spaces or for them to have been a part of the youth gatherings for a month before the trip. This allows the young person to become integrated into the group and for the leaders, parents and young person to build relationships and be in the loop! Do get in touch if you have any questions or concerns. Your young person will also be required to attend the pre-DTI preparation party (Saturday 19th July) where we'll go through the logistics of the trip, practice setting up tents and get to know one another!
