About Us

For most people there isn't a single moment where you suddenly stand up and shout "I believe!" Faith takes time to build, and we want you to take your time.

Whether you are already Christian or are just starting out, we welcome everyone to Elevate. It is a chance to question and think, and go home with your own conclusions - not someone elses!


We are constantly exploring new ways to worship and be nearer to God. This can be done through lots of different means including music, interviews, discussion, activities, prayer and thought.

There are the opportunities in Elevate to listen to other young people's stories and experiences from all walks of life. Sometimes storys are extraordinary and othertimes they are something we can all relate to - but they can all connect to us in some way.

We have been running for about 3 years now, and in that time have developed according to what the people attending enjoy. Come and see for yourself what a calming atmosphere Elevate provides - a bit of time out of our busy lives! We named the project Elevate because we lift Christ up in all things we do.

Meet the Team:

Martin
"My role is hosting and organising as well as being a generally happy smiley person! My spiritual journey is like a roller coaster, full of ups and downs. I have done three years as a youth worker and now am involved in the organisation of Elevate, to prove that church is for everyone, not just those born pre 1920 :)"


Amy
"I've been a Christian most of my life with some rather testing times I have to admit! Though the road is rough I keep returning to my faith. At the minute I am enjoying exploring God with everyone at Elevate.
I'm the techy one sorting out lighting and music, but I'm not unknown to do a bit of talking up at the front!"
