Children & Families

Our desire is to reach families in order to tell them of the Good News of Jesus Christ and to teach the foundational truths of the Christian faith. Come check out what we provide in our churches and within the local community.

Children’s Church

Children’s church is the place to be on Sunday mornings! It meets during the 9.30 service at St Saviour’s and the 11.15 service at St Paul’s, usually on the first, second, and third and Sunday of each month. Aimed at primary and secondary school children up to School Year 9, it provides a fun, safe and loving environment through which we
hope to ignite their passion for Jesus. With games, worship and teaching, we help children learn about God’s love and grace, reflect on it in their own lives, and grow in faith.

Messy Church

Messy Church is a unique way of being church for families and others who want to experience something different. This Christ-centred ministry takes place on the first Sunday of every month from 3pm-4:30pm and is suitable for primary school-aged children. Messy Church is based on creativity, hospitality, and celebration, providing a fun and welcoming environment where everyone can come together to learn and grow in their faith. The activities include arts and crafts, games, singing, Bible stories, and delicious snacks. It’s a great way to bring the whole family together and explore the teachings of Jesus in a new and engaging way. (No Messy Church in August)

The next messy church is the 2nd February.

Please contact Jo Alexandre or Ruby Wild for more information.

St Paul’s Playgroup

Our playgroup on Tuesday mornings 10am (term-time) at St Paul’s provides an opportunity to engage with local families and guardians in a safe and welcoming environment. This ministry is designed for children aged 0-3 years old, and it’s a wonderful chance to meet other families in the community. Children can play and explore while the adults connect with each other, sharing experiences, and forming supportive relationships. Please contact
