Children & Young People

During Sunday morning services, children between the ages of five and eleven enjoy exciting activities when they attend Junior Church, either in church or at the Dorothy Parkes Centre, next to Old Church. On the second Sunday of each month, it is usual to meet in church to share the morning service with parents or carers. Children under five are very welcome, if with parent or carer. The theme of the activities is usually linked to the bible readings of that day. All leaders are experienced in working with children and are DBS/CRB checked.

These people can help with choice of music for Special Services, with arrangements for regular giving to Old Church, and with ensuring that none of the everyday needs of the church and its family are overlooked.
