Who We Are | Destiny Nottingham

Who We Are

Destiny is the youth ministry of the Christian Centre. We exist to serve the young people in our church and in our city. If you are between Year 9- Year 13 then Destiny is for you! Destiny’s main programme happens on Friday Nights and we kick off at 7pm and finish at 10:00pm. Be sure to come and visit us on a Friday Night and experience Destiny for yourself.

You don't have to be a Christian to come to Destiny - and you definitely don't have to be perfect - just be yourself! Destiny is a place where you will be loved and accepted for who you are, where you'll find support and safety in the tough times of teenage life, and friends to share the amazing times. It feels like home. But be careful, we encounter God at Destiny, and it might just change your life....

Enjoy the site and we look forward to meeting you soon.

Youth Pastors

At Destiny we have some BIG dreams because we believe in a BIG God! Our vision is to lead youth culture in Nottingham. This means that we are not a ‘Christian alternative’ for church kids: we believe that Jesus’ way is THE way - for everybody. We believe that God will use Destiny to show this different way for thousands of young people, in our city and beyond.

So when we look at Destiny, with all its potential, what do we see?

We see a youth ministry full of passionate young people: young people who have encountered Jesus and love God with everything they have.

Young people who are modelling Christ to the world

Young people maximising their potential - using their gifts and creativity to see God’s kingdom come in their time.

Young people who are not afraid to love to a different standard, who choose to reach out to those in need with a message of love, truth and freedom.

We see a place where thousands of young people come to worship and to find God. The kind of place that is so vibrant, so passionate, so real, so powerful that it becomes hard to ignore. A place where young people are making history.

The Destiny team is led by Laurence and Naomi James-Davis, and includes Nic, Mark, Ellie, Nicky, Emmanuel, Ryan, Alison, Dave, Kieran, Liz, Lucie & Antonio. Destiny is the youth ministry of the Christian Centre Nottingham, a large, vibrant church led by Pastor David Shearman.
