FUSE (13-18s)

Teenage years are significant. As our young people head towards independence, we pray they grow in following Jesus, becoming full members of church and confident to live as witnesses in the world.

We have been planning for a relaunch September 2024:

We want our Sunday services to be accessible and applicable for teenagers.

On the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month, at the 10:30am, there will be a FUSE group with teaching at their level.

We will encourage our teenagers to serve on rotas as members of the Church family: welcoming, refreshments, Bible readings, music/tech, children’s groups.
- This could be alongside parents, or as a way of getting to know other members of the church family
- On the 2nd Sunday at the 10:30am, we will aim to get young people involved in the music/tech, but they are welcome to be involved on any Sunday. Similarly with helping children’s groups on the 4th Sunday (Creche 0-3s, Scramblers 3-5s, Adventurers 5-8s).
- As they grow in faith and develop their gifts there will be opportunities to take a lead in children’s groups, music, in services, etc.

We will keep running FUSE on Friday nights as an opportunity for them to spend time with friends in a Church context, having fun and discovering more about Jesus. See more here.

We will have youth-focussed services once a term on Sunday evenings.

Sign up to the FUSE group to keep up-to-date with the latest news.

To join FUSE (13-18s) you need to register or login

Planning your Visit

Welcome from the Vicar

Let me welcome you to St John’s! I am so delighted you have found our web site. We are a Church family in Wimborne for anyone living, working or studying around this area. Whoever you are, whatever your age, whether you’re an experienced Christian or not, we would love you to join us.

From an intrigued onlooker to the committed follower we are keen that everyone should grow in relationship with God through knowing Jesus. To help us do that our emphasis is on hearing God speak to us by his Holy Spirit through his word, the Bible. Each of us knows that we only grow in a relationship with someone and get to know them when we spend time listening to them and responding and reacting to what they say. So the focus of St John’s is on listening to God’s word, talking to him in prayer and taking up all that he says.

The Church family here at St John’s longs to help anyone who wants to investigate the life of Jesus. On this site you will find people, meetings, talks and events shaped to help you take another step forward in finding out more about God and his love for us in Jesus, and to help you get linked into the church family life.

I do hope I will have the opportunity to meet you personally in the very near future and that you will quickly feel at home at St John’s.

Revd. Peter Breckwoldt
