Children (Sundays)

A full programme is provided every Sunday for all children from 0 - 13 years. Visitors are always welcome.

The children are grouped in their familiar school groups as much as possible:

Crèche for babies and tiny tots.

First Class for Nursery and Reception (3 - 4 year olds)

J.A.M. (Jesus and Me) for those at First School (5 - 9 year olds)

B.C’s (Bible Class) for those at Middle School (9 - 13 year olds)

All the children, join with the adults for the first half of the meeting, before leaving to gather for a short time of praise and worship. This is an important time, when the children have an opportunity to share individual needs and pray together.

Those of us involved in working with the children have a vision to see God at work amongst them. Our aim is to teach spiritual truths and the principles of living God’s way, at a level they can understand, and to help them develop a personal relationship with Jesus.

We currently use the S.A.L.T (Sharing and Learning Together) materials produced by Scripture Union for the children in First Class & J.A.M. This provides a Bible-based approach and covers the main Bible characters and events over a four year period. Each child receives a take-home leaflet relating to the story for that week.

B.C.’s The Bible Class has a separate identity and a different approach, with more class discussion and group Bible Study.

G.Y.M. (God, You & Me) for those at Upper School (13-18 year olds)

The young people have their own group, which meets after the worship on the first and third Sunday of each month. On other Sundays they join in the main service.
