Youth Worker

My name is Susanna Lamport and I am the Youth Worker at ACBC, and have been in the job since March 2009. I absolutely love my job, and feel so privileged to have it. I am probably not the most experienced youth worker this Church could have, but I am enthusiastic and passionate about the young people in the village, and I do genuinely love hanging out with them, and spending time with them. I guess that gives me a few qualifications for this work!

Our aim is for the church to provide a safe, welcoming place where young people can be together, make friends and have fun. We run a youth cafe and a youth group each week, plus a home group, Xplore, for Christian teenagers at my house, and a Youth Church service every third Sunday of the month.  There’s also a group called ‘Escape’ on the fourth Sunday in the morning, and regular trips to other youth events in the area, like ‘Impact’ run by Aylesbury Vale Youth for Christ.

When I am not perfecting my guitar hero skills on the Xbox, or beating everyone in the youth cafe at table tennis, I enjoy chilling with my family, long walks in the fields with my dog, and reading.  I have been a Christian for about 8 years, and have lived in Aston Clinton for 16 years. I have been married for 16 years and have two children, aged 11 and 14.
