Children and Youth

9am & 11am Congregations:

On Sunday mornings, we provide age-specific provision for children aged 0-14.

Our SEEDS group cares for babies up to pre-school (0-4). With simple, faithful teaching about God and us, catchy songs, and plenty of toddler toys, the SEEDS group is a great, safe place to leave your baby or toddler. It also provides a friendly space for parents to stay with their young babies if they wish (e.g. for feeding during the service).

Our JAM groups are for children in Primary School: Class 1 for Infant School (Reception – Year 2) and Class 2 for Junior School (Year 3 – Year 6). Usually, the children will worship with the main gathering for about 20 minutes before heading out for fellowship, fun, engaging age-related Bible teaching, songs and prayers! JAM sessions will usually follow the same teaching as the adults.

Our GIG groups are for young people aged 11-14 (Year 7 – Year 9). Roughly every other week, they will head out to their own space after about 20 minutes of worship with the main congregation. They’ll enjoy time to chat, share some refreshments, and study the same passage as the adults in a more interactive discussion format.

Please contact the church office if you would like more details.

4pm Congregation:

In the 4pm, we provide age-specific provision for children aged 0-12.

The PM Kids group invites children aged 0-12 to join together for some joyful fellowship and praise, and to hear stories from the Bible shared faithfully and engagingly. They will usually then divide into two smaller discussion groups:

  • Pre-school up to year 2 will head into another room to enjoy some related activities, make some crafts, and chat a bit more about what they heard from God’s Word!
  • Year 3 up to Year 7 will remain and do some slightly older activities, enjoying more of a discussion around what they’ve heard.

YOUTH

For young people in secondary school there are groups each week as follows:

  • Tuesday Evening, 7.30pm-9pm: Year 7-9’s and Year 10-13s meet at church for friendship, fun, and a time of study and discussion, looking at relevant topics and bits of the Bible together.
  • Sunday Evening, 8.15pm – 9.30pm: after the evening service is finished, the Yr 10-13s take over the upstairs for social and fellowship time. We share food and drink, encourage each other, and enjoy a variety of games.
