We hope that you will quickly be happy to leave your little ones in the care of our trained leaders and helpers to allow you to return to the service. If your child becomes distressed, a leader will bring your child to you.
We are very used to having babies and toddlers in the service, but if you would prefer to step out with your youngster, our Baby Saint Space will be a place for you to sit where you can still feel part of what’s going on in the service.

Our aims:
The general aim of all of our children’s and youth ministries falls into three key areas. It is our desire that by the time the young people come to leave us:
They will know and trust the gospel of Jesus Christ.
They will grasp the main story of the Bible.
They will be able to read and apply the Bible for themselves.
The Bible makes it clear that the primary responsibility for training young people in the word lies with parents, and so we strive to work alongside parents in the three key areas above.
Please pray for the leaders and helpers of each of our groups as they prepare and deliver Bible lessons each week.
If you ever have any concerns please speak to the group leader. Contact us for details.
