Luton Unite

Luton Unite is a cross-church partnership project that brings young people from different churches together once a month to worship God and have fun together.

Luton Unite Christmas Ball

The Luton Unite Christmas Ball is one of our highlights of the year! A chance for young people to celebrate the joy of Christmas, make lifelong memories alongside friends, and experience a night they will never forget.

Each year we plan the event around an exciting theme, and this year is no different… young people are invited to come and board our spaceship to Planet Christmas!

We’ve got so much planned (and we’re not going to give any of it away) - so make sure your young person doesn’t miss out.

Date: Friday 13th December 2024
Venue: St Mary’s Church, Church Street Luton, LU1 3JF
Time: 7pm-10pm
Cost: £10 (includes food, drinks, and all activities)

Spaces are limited due to venue capacity, so do buy any tickets via the blue ‘add to cart’ box on this page as soon as possible. If the below consent form has not been completed this academic year (since September 2024) by a responsible adult for the young person named on the ticket booking, then this MUST be submitted for them to be able to attend the Christmas Ball. We reserve the right to refuse entry to the event if a consent form has not been completed.

Please note that tickets are non-refundable, however they can be transferred to another young person. Contact gemma.milligan@youthscape.co.uk if you need any further information.

Luton Unite Main Gatherings

Luton Unite hosts exciting monthly events for young people. These events usually happen on the first Friday of every month at Bute Mills, Luton (see dates and venues below for precise information).. Each evening is an opportunity for young people to meet those from different churches and denominations, and to be part of a growing and vibrant event. We want young people to be introduced to the breadth and depth of the Christian community in Luton.

Evening events may involve worship, invited speakers and social activities. Previous events have included playing a real-life version of the hugely popular video game Fortnite, and a summer beach party. There is also a Christmas Ball held every December.

Youth workers wanting more information about bringing a group to Luton Unite should contact Gemma Milligan via email here. Any young person coming to Luton Unite will need to fill in (with their parent/carer) the consent form below.

Luton Unite One

After a fruitful launch last year, we are excited to continue our Luton Unite One expansion to the programme. Luton Unite One meets each fortnight following the main gatherings.

Luton Unite Youth Worship Band

Over the past year we have launched a Luton Unite Youth Worship Band, which gives young people who regularly attend Luton Unite the opportunity to help lead worship at some of the events throughout the year. If you play an instrument or can sing and would like to learn how to help lead worship, you are welcome to come along to our monthly Youth Worship band practices. For more information about when and where these will be, please speak to David, Ebony, or Josias at a Luton Unite event. As with all Luton Unite events, if you would like to attend these practices you will need to ask your parent or carer to fill in the above consent form.
