Children and youth work
Not just the future - part of it now
We believe that children and young people are not just the future of the Church - they are a vital part of its life right now.

Once a term
Messy Sundays
Once a term we hold a Messy Sunday - where our morning service looks a little different to the normal!
Our service transforms into a space not just for families but everyone of all ages to come and enjoy church through crafts, games and activities all centred around a theme or Bible story. It's a space for all to worship through creativity, learn more about scripture through fun and engaging storytelling, and learn more about God in a setting where families can worship together.
We are usually joined by Andi from KidsUK - who often brings along some of his friends.

Stay and Play
From 10AM till 11.30AM on Friday mornings during term time is our toddler play group. There is an assortment of toys and activities set out in our church, with songs and bubbles at the end. The cost is £3.50 per child and then 50p for any additional children - this includes refreshments for children and adults!
