Playgroup offers a safe place for children 0-5 to play and develop social skills and is a great place to make new friends, learn new things and become part of the community. We welcome all children and their carers including stay at home, work-from-home, work outside the home, mums, dads, grandparents and nannies.

Join us each Friday 9:30 - 11:30am during school terms. Each week we have a different theme and activities to engage the children. A large range of toys and access to a covered sandpit helps provide new experiences every week.

We offer a weekly program that challenges Boys spiritually, physically, socially, and educationally. Our focus is on friendships, leadership, the self-discipline needed to achieve excellence and understanding the Christian faith. All Boys have the opportunity to earn awards, badges, and participate in leadership training, working towards their Queen's badge (the highest award a boy can receive).

Our company also participates in other activities such as camping and inter-company competitions.

Sunday School runs during school terms within our 9:30am Sunday Service and provides a time where children can share in fun, faith, friendships and learn about Jesus.

Our leaders provide a range of varying experiences to help children draw closer to God through music, bible teaching, prayer, games and creative activities. All our leaders are screened and trained and will love your kids almost as much as you do.

We have two groups providing age-appropriate teaching so that every child can have a great time learning with their peers.

- Junior Group: children aged 3-5 (meets in Tiny Town)

- Primary Group: children in Prep-year 7 (meets in Church Hall)

Children start each service in the Church Auditorium with everyone else for songs, prayers and announcements and then move to their relevant group. This year our lessons will Dig In to the Life of Jesus and follow the same readings and themes as Sunday Worship.

Community Helping Hand is one way we can connect with our local Community by offering Help, using our Hands and Hearts.

An Explore Group is an intentional gathering of people who meet to study the bible and apply it to their daily lives and to pray for and support each other. As expressed in Acts 2:42 – 47, Explore Groups meet to develop authentic Christian Community. Explore Groups meet weekly or fortnightly.

Each Explore Group is unique. Each group will have a time of bible study and discussion, where the passage being studied is understood and applied in our contemporary setting. In addition there will be a time of prayer. There may also be times of sharing and eating. Each Explore Group works out together how they will spend their time.

Contact the church office and let us know that you want to be part of an Explore Group. We will arrange to connect you with a group that meets at a time that suits you.

Tiny Town Childcare Centre and Kindergarten has enriched the lives of children in our community since 1974.

As an activity of Emmanuel Uniting Church, Enoggera, they specialise in a play-based learning programme which follows the QSA Kindergarten Guidelines.

Through their daily practices and interactions they promote the Christian ideals of love, forgiveness, respecting and serving others, equality, inclusiveness, and care for the environment.

Tiny Town believes in the principles of the Early Years Learning Framework, describing childhood as a time of belonging, being and becoming. We care for children from 2 to 5 years, with a specialist pre-prep programme for the year before school.

Tiny Town operates from 7.30am – 5.30pm - Monday to Friday. We have one group per day with a maximum of 24 children. Our indoor and outdoor play spaces are designed to provide children with the best educational play environment. For more information visit tinytown.com.au
