Impact Report - Kids & Families

In our Kids & Families ministry we are all about connecting with each other, encountering God, supporting parents, and teaching children good theology.

This is expressed through Sunday Kids groups, parenting courses, and a Stay & Play group, to name just some!

Each Sunday we run Kids ministry at all of our sites and services, consisting of eight different Kids groups led by a wonderful team of volunteers. We now also have volunteer Kids Coordinators at South Site and East Site, who help look after the team and keep an eye on the ever-increasing number of children! 

Recently a volunteer and parent expressed that they often prefer to stay and be with the Kids rather than be in the service with the rest of the adults - Kids groups are a fun, spiritually encouraging and rewarding place to be!

Our Friday morning Stay & Play at our Barford Street venue is also flourishing. We welcome around 20 families each week, building community with local parents (most of whom wouldn’t otherwise step into a church) and providing a space for the kids to have fun, learn important skills and be together.

Thank you to all of you who give, enabling us to create spaces where kids can connect with God for themselves and have fun with others at the same time - it’s so precious.
