Kids
Jesus is for all
We're delighted to have so many children in our church family.
On a Sunday we begin our church service with everyone together. We will have moments to engage the children – whether a kids slot, child-friendly prayers, songs the children are familar with or sharing some news for the whole church.
After 15 minutes, children and young people from 0-14 go out to age-appropriate kids’ groups in the hall. They return just before the end of the service.
Every other month, we host an all-age service in which all children except for the very youngest remain in the service throughout.
Everyone who volunteers with children and young people has been through our Safer Recruitment process (including DBS checks) and receives regular safeguarding training.
