We believe that children are a vital part of our church and therefore we want them to be actively involved in worship, reading the Bible, prayer, ministry, serving, giving and sharing God’s heart for the poor and those that don't yet know Jesus.

So, what happens each Sunday for your kids to connect with?

Robins (0-3s)
We’d love for you to bring your baby or toddler along to a wonderful space to encounter Jesus together through bible stories, worship, craft and playing together led by our amazing team. You are welcome to drop your child off or stay with them, whatever works best for your family.

There is a group for primary school-aged children led by our Kids team every week. We worship all together for the first part of the service before the children are dropped off to their group for games, bible teaching, snacks, craft and more. Year 6s are part of our Youth provision at South Site.

Hummingbirds (Pre-school – Year 1)
Younger children, who are happy to be away from their parents for a short while and who can play independently, are invited to enjoy supervised time with songs, stories, toys and games during the main service.

Kingfishers (Year 1 – Year 6)
Older children are invited to their own session with games, crafts, discussion and learning from the Bible, taking time to connect with each other and with God.

Please sign your children in as soon as you arrive at church (sign-in will be near the refreshments table).  Please bring your children through to their groups after worship (the service leaders will tell you when), and then return to collect them at the end of the service.
