On Sunday morning at 11AM, our kids groups currently run for pre-schoolers, years 1-5 and years 6-8. All of these groups run in the suite of function rooms at the Park Inn Hotel, right next to us at St John’s with our Children & Youth Leader, Becky Armstrong and a dedicated group of safely recruited volunteer leaders.

On a typical Sunday, we begin together in the church for all-age worship and prayer. After that, the kids and youth head out to their groups for sessions that aim to encourage, inspire and equip them for faith that follows Jesus in and through all the twists and turns of life in God’s world today.

We want to encourage them in prayer, worship and their understanding of the bible, so that they ‘grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.’ (2 Peter 3:18) And we want them to encourage us too, so we will often ask them to re-join the church service before we finish so that they can share what they have discovered.
