Sunday School runs during school terms within our 9:30am Sunday Service and provides a time where children aged 3 - 12 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 safe-ministry trained and screened, and will love your kids almost as much as you do.
All children aged 3 - 12 are welcome and meet as one group in the Church Hall. A range of activities including games, craft, challenges, and small group time are provided to enhance age- and developmental- appropriate learning and connection for all.
Children will start each service in the church auditorium with the congregation for songs, prayers, videos, communion, and announcements and will move to the hall with their leaders when advised. In 2025 we will continue to follow the same readings and themes as Sunday Worship, learning more about the heart of God, and how to follow him.
