Young People & Families

Children and young people are a key part of our church family. We have multiple groups running through the week and on Sundays for young people to encounter Jesus, grow in faith, build relationships and have fun!

Sunday Mornings

Every child is welcome to sit through any of our church services. There are groups for children at our 11.15am service for anyone up to 14 years old. Everyone starts in the church building before children head across to the church hall for their groups. Every second Sunday we have an all age service at the 11.15am service

SCRAMBLERS:
18 months – 5 years old

CLIMBERS:
5 – 7 year olds

EXPLORERS:
8 – 11 years old

PATHFINDERS:
11 – 14 year olds

For children under 3 there is also a creche space in the back of church with baby friendly toys and space to feed or change your baby if you want some extra privacy. The service is broadcast through to the creche space and you can see into the main church building from it. Little ones must be accompanied at all times by an adult.

Mid Week

As well as Sundays, we meet during the week and offer a range of groups for all ages to join in, study the bible and have fun.
