Children aged 11 and under (and families) are invited to church to join in exciting activities! There's lots of creative, educational and biblical activities in term time, and special events in school holidays. Our team of leaders and helpers are led by our Children's & Families Leaders and supported by some of the young people. Adults are DBS checked and have first aid and safeguarding training.

Children's Church


We want children to have great fun whilst learning more about Jesus and meeting with Him. We use resources from Urban Saints Energize with age-relevant bible teaching and prayers, plus crafts and games. 

Age-appropriate groups meet during the 9.30am and 11.15am services. After the worship in the service, an announcement lets the children and youth know when it is time to go to their groups. If you are new, parents - please follow the crowd to take your children out and say hello to one of the leaders. The Children's Church programme includes a Bible story lesson, singing/worship, craft, and games.
  • Babies parents can stay in church with their babies, or they can also join the Tumbler group and see the provision we have for toddlers
  • Toddlers and preschoolers Giggle & Grow - Lower Hall
  • Reception, School Years 1 & 2 On The Move - Lower Hall
