During this nine year season Paul ministered throughout the UK and went on ministry trips to the USA, South Africa, Italy France and Ukraine.

Youth Leader – Amy Scheepers
My name is Amy, and I am the youth worker here at king’s church. I have my bachelors degree in theology and will be ordained in 2023 as a Pastor. God called me to king’s church to reach the youth of the area and also to reach the young adults. I have a passion for helping people and teaching them about the love of Jesus.The Young adults ministry is so important in any church, as to create a relaxed safe space for young adults to connect with like minded people, and receive prayer and support. The adult world can be daunting but having good, faith filled friends to encourage one another makes it easier to take on life as a Christian. At King’s church we want to create that environment for 18-30 year olds to come together and have a warm drink and good fellowship.
God wants to empower the youth of today to go out and live the way Jesus intended them to live. To bring light in the darkness and to live in the truth and love of Christ. Life as a teenager can be confusing and really difficult, but Jesus has the answers. At King’s youth we want to create a place where teenagers hear the truth of God and find clarity in His word, whilst having fun.
