The teenagers admitted to smashing the windows at the church, causing £15,000 worth of damage, when they were brought before a Youth Court last year.
They also pleaded guilty to a further charge of burglary with intent to cause lawful damage to the vicarage nearby.
As part of their punishment, the teenagers were told that they were to meet with a youth offender panel to try to repair some of the harm they had caused and address the source of their offending behaviour.
So three of the four youths involved, agreed to attend a meeting with members of the church as part of a restorative justice order.
Restorative justice coordinator, Christine Taylor said: "Everyone sat together and the members of the church were given the chance to ask questions and impress upon the teenagers the financial and emotional impact their actions had caused.
"The youths saw photographs of the damage to the church and saw the scaffolding that was up replacing the broken windows and could clearly see the gravity of their actions".
One of the youths said: "Going back to the church made me really understand what we had done and it made me feel really bad.
"The people from the church were nice to us and we were able to say sorry for what we had done."
Another added: "I realised that what we did was wrong and how upset we had made people, I will never do something like this again."
PC Karl Pickles, who facilitated the meeting, said: "The youths responded very well and sincerely apologised for what they did. Their parents were also given the chance to speak and said how ashamed they had been by the incident.
One parent said: "Seeing the scaffolding up at the church brought it all back to me and I was very upset about the damage they had caused. I was really apprehensive about the meeting as I expected the members of the church to be very angry but they were really forgiving and I was glad the children had a chance to say sorry and give something back to the church."
PC Pickles added: "It was a very emotional meeting for everyone involved, but both the members of the church and the youths benefited from it. We have had some positive feedback and a lot of unanswered questions have been solved."
Church warden Vera Cocker said: "We were worried about meeting the children and about how we would feel seeing them again. But I think the meeting did both us and the parents and children good. We were able to get our issues off our chest and put what happened behind us. We just want to draw a line under what has happened and hope that the children have learnt their lesson and will behave better in future.
The teenagers will now continue with the restorative justice programme by undertaking voluntary work at the church, cleaning the cellar and vestry.
