Who and what is XL Youth?

XL Youth is the youth department of The Bridge Church. A growing, vibrant, family and community focused church. We believe in empowering young people to 'Live Life Large' in finding the plan God has for their life.

What happens on a Friday night at XL?

The chances are you've found our website because your son or daughter has been to XL Youth on a Friday evening. We have a whole range of activities throughout the week including activities and schools work but our Friday nights are our 'flagship' programs.

We run two separate programs on a Friday evening, the first, Revolution is for all young people in years 7-10. Edge is our program for young adults in years 11+. Both programs feature similar content but are obviously age-suited. The cafe is open for young people to catch up, buy a drink or a snack and just hang out before the main program begins. Content varies from program to program, but the rest of the evening will generally involve loud, contemporary worship with the XL Band, videos, music, challenges, giveaways, drama, Bible based relevant life teaching and shamelessly having a laugh!

Where does it happen?

Most of our projects, including XL Youth on a Friday, happen at The Bridge Buckhurst Hill, 29 Princes Road, Buckhurst Hill, IG9 5E E. For full contact info, please cick on the 'Contact us' logo.
