Children

There is a great group of children and young people at the Sunday morning services. The church aims to provide engaging and enjoyable activities that will enable them to make good friends and develop faith in their own ways, while we learn with them and from them in our worship together.

Scramblers, Climbers and Explorers

Scramblers (Nursery and Reception), Climbers (years 1 and 2), and Explorers (years 3 to 6), all meet on a Sunday morning. Everyone meets in church, joining together in worship before going to groups in the church hall, usually after about 20 minutes.

Crèche

For babies and pre-school toddlers we have an attended crèche in the lower hall for the duration of the 10.30am service. There is space to relax with your child or you can return to the service.

Raise the Praise

Raise the Praise is a half-hour service for families with children aged up to 8, held on the second Sunday of each month at 5pm. The service is focussed on the children, with lively interactive teaching, singing and prayer followed by craft and tea together.

SHINE Youth Group!

In Spring 2017 we started a new youth group for children in years 4 to 6. There are games, craft activities and a God slot. We meet once a month on a Friday from 5-6.30pm in the Goodliffe Hall, which is just next to the church. See the church calendar to check the date for this month.
