Families & Young People
We are a friendly church that welcomes families to our services. Sunday Worship begins at 10.30 am with all the church family meeting together. We understand that toddlers may be active during this time.
The Retiring/Prayer Room is off the front foyer of the church and the service is relayed there. It is available for anyone who needs to leave the service and parents or carers sometimes use this room during the first part of the service.
Creche (0 - 3 years)
The creche starts when Sunday Crew (see below) begins; age appropriate toys are provided. Depending on demand, the relevant number of adults are provided. If for any reason your child becomes unhappy we will let you know.
Following the first part of Sunday morning service with a family orientated slot young people leave to gather in the church hall for their own distinct activities. We start with a welcome and share our news, before going into age based groups, where stories, crafts, music, IT, quizzes, games, drama, cooking etc. are experienced on bible based themes.
Lots of fun is had by all.
On specific Sunday afternoons. Detailed information here.
Following the first part of Sunday morning service our Youth Group gather in the church hall for their own distinct activities. The Youth Lounge is available for their meetings.
