Children
Children are valued members of our church family and precious in God’s sight.
We long for them to come to know Jesus for themselves, that they might love him wholeheartedly and make him known to others.
Most Sundays children are invited to join a group during part of the main meeting. Approximately once a month we have an ‘all age’ service for young and old, where children stay with their families throughout.
Sundays
This is time to grow in faith, build friendships and have fun with each other and trusted adults.
Children are invited to join in with age appropriate bible teaching, games, craft, and singing. Sessions last 50 minutes. Because children are valued members of our church family, we start and finish altogether; service leaders will tell you when and where to go, and children will be brought back to you.
