Church Life
Lifegroups
Meeting in-person throughout the week, they enable us to keep connected, supported and growing in our walk with Jesus through whatever life throws at us.
Experience the same friendship, care and equipping that Jesus modelled to his initial group of twelve disciples as you join a lifegroup.
Join a Lifegroup
Get connected to a lifegroup in your local area. Our groups take place throughout the week in different places around Croydon and at different times. Contact office@croydon-jubilee.co.uk to find a group that's right for you.
Jubilee Youth
Encounter (Years 6-9)
This group exists to help bridge the gap between kids and youth. They meet on Sundays after the worship 3 out of 4 weeks in the church office, where they play games and discuss the bible in a deeper way in a small group.
Cheryl, our Children's Co-ordinator, oversees the Encounter team. If you have any questions, prayer requests or testimonies, she would love to hear from you! cheryl.richardson@croydon-jubilee.co.uk
Youth
Jubilee Youth is for anyone aged 11-18 (within school years 7-13). Our team is overseen by Fran and Angus.
Sunday Mornings
On the 2nd Sunday of every month the youth meet after worship in the coffee shop for a bible study.
Where: Jubilee Coffee Shop
When: 11.15am – 12.15pm
Sunday Evenings
On the 1st, 3rd and 4th Sunday of the month the youth gather for games, friendship and a gospel message. We have end of term parties which are always lots of fun! During the summer there is also picnics, frisbee, football and basketball arranged usually at Selsdon Rec.

When: 7-9pm
Newday
We take our young people to Newday each Summer. Newday is one of the largest Christian events for young people in the UK. Thousands of young people from across the world descend on the Norfolk Showground to learn about and worship God, camp together, and soak in the summer festival vibes.
Jubilee Kids
Children are very welcome at Croydon Jubilee Church. We offer fun, engaging sessions where children can build friendships and grow in their faith with Jesus.
On Sundays, children worship with the whole church family and then go to their age specific groups:
Creche 0-4 years
We have a dedicated space in the coffee shop for under 4s where we have toys and books available.
Jubilee Kids (Reception to Year 6)
Our desire is that children will grow in faith and relationship with God and to be equipped for the world they live in today. We play lots of games, have bible based teaching and craft activities. We aim to create a fun, loving environment where children build relationships with each other and with God.
Additional Needs
As a team we are very passionate that every child can access our groups. If your child has an additional need, we work closely with parents and carers to find the best way to help your child access our setting. We understand that coming to a new place can be daunting and we would love to work with you to help with any transitions where needed. If you would like to discuss further, please get in touch with Cheryl.
Cheryl, our Children's Co-ordinator, oversees the team and teaching for our kids groups. If you have any questions, prayer requests or testimonies, she would love to hear from you! cheryl.richardson@croydon-jubilee.co.uk
Everyone that works with under 18s at Croydon Jubilee Church has been cleared through our Safer Recruitment process and receives training to ensure that our children are well cared for. Emily is our Safeguarding Lead.
Light Party
At the end of October we hold an alternative to Halloween. These are very popular and lots of fun! It's a great event for children to invite their friends and is open to the community.
Serving
Everything that happens at Croydon Jubilee Church is made possible by teams of volunteers. Our heart is that everyone serves somewhere, so no one needs to serve everywhere.
There are plenty of ways to get involved at Jubilee — here are some examples:
Kids, Youth, Encounter, Set-up, Worship, PA/AV, Welcome, Tea & Coffee, Communion, Newday Site Team.
Outreach
As a church we have numerous ways that we outreach to the community around us, through our own workplaces and friends to organized events.
Operation Christmas Child
Every year we collect and make up boxes that go to children in need to share God's love. It's an amazing charity that we absolutely love to support.
Churches Together Floating Shelter
During the winter months we have the privilege of working with other local churches in Croydon.
Crafternoon
On Tuesday afternoons 12.30-3pm we have a group that meet together to craft and build friendships.
Alpha
We run Alpha as a church every January for 10 weeks where we unpack the basics of the Christian faith together.
No pressure. No strings. Just good food, interesting talks and open conversations. That's it. Come along, see what you think.
It's free, and anyone's invited.
