Children's Ministry


IMG 3505Have you got children that you would like to bring to church? We run a specific programme just for children!

Our aim is to make sure every child can be themselves in a safe and welcoming environment. Our children's workers are appointed through interview only, are DBS checked and have safeguarding training.

We want the children to have great fun whilst learning more about Jesus and meeting with Him.


Sunday Mornings


The children join in the main worship for the first 30 minutes or so, before going to their groups.

Sparks (aged 0-2 years)

IMG 1581Sparks currently runs in the foyer and is for children aged from birth to aged 2 years. Children are offered a drink and snack when they come through with a variety of toys and craft activities available for them.  A speaker allows parents to hear the service and sermon.
  
Parents and carers are welcome to stay to help their child feel comfortable and get to share with one another; however, we do ask parents to speak to the creche team before leaving children under 1 year.

Please note that sermons are available for listening to through our website if you've been with your little one or helping in creche.

Young Church

IMG 2434Young church is provided for children in years Reception - 6.

The Preschool years ("Glow") meets in the lower hall and Reception to year 7 ("Lighthouse") in the upper hall

The focus is very much on working in partnership with parents to help the children come to know Christ personally over time, through the use of song, engaging bible teaching, crafts and games. 

Currently we use Urban Saints Energize material for teaching.

For years 7 and above, see the "Youth" page
