Children and Youth

We offer a range of activities and programmes for young people. All our leaders and helpers are subject to references, DBS checks and undergo regular training in Safeguarding. Our programme of youth and children’s work runs on weekdays and weekends.


WEEKDAYS

First Steps is a popular local group for parents, grandparents and toddlers and meets each Thursday morning during term time from 10.00 to 11.30am in the Upper Hall. The morning consists of playtime with a range of toys, craft and activity tables, drinks and biscuits and song time. A baby corner is also provided. There is no charge for your first visit, but we ask for a small contribution thereafter, which goes towards the cost of using the hall, toys, food and drink etc.


7Up is for school years 4,5,& 6 and meets on Friday evenings from 7:00 to 8:15pm. A typical evening consists of games, a Bible story, DVD or quiz, a craft activity, refreshments and a final game if there’s time! A weekly subscription of £2 covers the cost of refreshments and craft materials.


ULTIM8

Ultim8 is for 11 to 16 year olds and meets on Fridays from 8:00 to 9:30pm. This informal evening group provides a safe space to catch up with your friends, play board games/pool/air hockey/table tennis or do some cooking or crafts. Each week we have a time for reflection and discussion on Christian values. Drinks and savoury, sugar-free snacks are available. A weekly subscription of £2 covers the cost of refreshments and materials/ingredients. 

SUNDAYS

There’s something for all ages in our Sunday children and young people’s work.

A typical Sunday morning consists of active games, videos, Bible stories, crafts, sensory play and construction activities such as Lego. Our children’s area includes a soft space with toys for babies and toddlers.
