Children’s Church · Every Sunday

Little hearts, big God.

Train up a child in the way he should go. — Proverbs 22:6

Sundays, 9am – 12 noon

While you worship, they discover.

Children’s Church runs alongside the main service every Sunday, 9am to 12, with a dedicated team of teachers and a class for every age. Each Sunday has a typed, approved lesson, an activity to make it stick, and — increasingly — a short video to make it memorable.

It is a large, well-organised ministry: around 300 children in term time and 420 in the holidays, taught by 37 teachers across five classes, with its own curriculum team, an induction programme for new teachers, an annual parents–teachers meeting, quarterly VBS and bootcamp events, and a graduation ceremony each year as children move up a class.
