Sundays for all ages...

Children, young people and families are a very welcome part of our church family. During the first part of our main Sunday meeting, both the children and adults spend time together, singing and sharing in the gathering of the church family. During the Bible talk, children from ages 0–11 have their own age-appropriate Bible teaching. Find out more below:

Mini Lighthouse (creche)

When: Sunday mornings
Where: Crèche room at the church building
Age: For babies and toddlers aged 0 – 3

In Mini Lighthouse we provide a safe, comfortable and fun place for children under 3 to stay during the morning meeting. This is so that parents can benefit from staying in the main meeting. We also take the opportunity to point our younger children and toddlers to Jesus as we sing songs, do craft, play together, read Bible stories and learn from God’s word.

Lighthouse

When: Sunday mornings
Where: Various rooms at the church building

Our aim in Lighthouse is to have loads of fun while we learn about Jesus from God’s word. We get stuck into a Bible passage each week through games, challenges, dramas, puzzles, treasure hunts and much more! Lighthouse meets in three age groups: preschool to reception, school year 1 to year 3, and school year 4 to year 6.

Breakfast Club
