Englefield Green Crusaders have been meeting since 1994. We are a group of 7 to 12 year olds who meet regularly each Monday evening in the Village Centre, Victoria Street for games, Bible exploration and refreshments. We also have occasional other activities such as trips and a camp with other Surrey groups at the end of the May half term. The group is associated with the national Urban Saints organisation, and supported by St Jude’s Church. The subscription is 50p per Monday.
For more information about Crusaders see their website. This is taken from there:
“We are passionate about working with children and young people who have no church connection, helping them to realise their full God-given potential as they journey from childhood to adulthood.
Underpinning all of our work is the strong belief that the Christian faith works today and that Jesus Christ was speaking the truth when He said that He offers the very best, most fulfilling life. To this end, our passion is to see young people…
- Come to faith, and then share that faith with others
- Experience the greatest hope, and then become bringers of that hope to their peers
- Respond to the love of God, and then become activists in their world through the practical demonstration of that love
Young people can become Urban Saints – God’s agents of change in the world – living like Jesus lived, with lives full of…
Compassion
Endurance
Humility
Integrity
Wisdom
Commitment
Whilst not every young person might become a Christian, we do believe that Jesus Christ’s life and message, as revealed in the Bible, is challenging and inspiring to young people today as they seek to understand their value and purpose within 21st century society.”
