Junior Church

Our Junior Church offers a friendly and welcoming environment to children of all ages. Approximately 35 children attend regularly with a further 30 children coming on a more occasional basis.

The children start their Sunday morning worship with the main family of the Church. They then go into the Church Rooms to continue their activities. Here they split into the following age groups

Creche   for under 3 years old
Sparklers   for 3 to 5 years
AllStars  for 6 to 7 years
Trailblazers  for 8 to 10 years
Lazers  for 11 to 13 years
Pathfinders  for 14 and over.

Teaching is based on the Scripture Union materials, introducing the children to Bible stories and involving them in singing, activities and games. The older children in the Lazer and Pathfinder groups are encouraged to join in discussions. Many of the children play instruments so a project currently being formulated is to have a children’s band.

Each group has a leader and helpers who are encouraged to attend courses during the year and have been CRB checked.

The Junior Church leads the ‘all age’ Sunday services for the Junior Church festival, the Christmas Nativity and the Mothers day services.

Children from new and visiting families are always welcomed into the Junior Church
