SaLT (Saint Lucia Teens)

Youth group for high school students

SLE Church (Downstairs)
Fridays 7-9pm (During the school term)

Here at SaLT we warmly welcome all teens, whether your child knows a lot or nothing at all about Jesus. 

We come together primarily to learn about Jesus through the reading of the Bible. SaLT also gives teens the opportunity to grow in friendship and fellowship with one another in a fun and safe space. 

New to SaLT? We’d love for your teen to join us! 

Register your teen HERE and subscribe to weekly updates about what’s happening at SaLT.


What to expect on Friday nights:

Welcome and Games:
to break the ice and get to know each other.

Bible Study:
is the most important part of our night. We want to help teens to treasure God’s word and for it to be at the centre of their lives and everything they do. We split off into year level groups to read, discuss, share snacks, reflect, ask questions and pray together. For those who are new or still settling into SaLT - there is no pressure to say or do anything more than just listening and being part of the group!

Song of Response:
at the end of the night we sing a song to respond to God’s word.


SaLT Vision and Mission 
  • Vision statement: SaLT aims to help teens find their security, significance and purpose in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
  • Mission statement: We seek to have an environment which encourages youths to learn and understand the Word of God in community with each other, so they can know Jesus personally and live purposeful lives shaped by His Word.
Safe ministry check

Your teen’s safety is our priority.

All our SaLT leaders have Blue Cards and have undergone Safe Ministry with Children training.
