Kids
We’re raising a powerful generation who know God’s voice, who they are, and are ready to make history. We believe there is no junior Holy Spirit. Each Sunday, we invite them to encounter the God they were created to know through testimonies, worship, teaching, and activities to explore their relationship with Him.

Registration & group Times
We usually have children’s groups at our 10 am service.
We also have All Age services from time to time, when the children and young people will remain in the service, and there won’t be any groups
Upon arrival, please register your children in the café area (look for the table under the TV screen).
Registration for the children’s (and youth) groups opens at 9:30 am and closes promptly at 9:55 am (or earlier if the groups are full).
We recommend you arrive at 9:30 am, and you’ll have less time in the queue!
Children must be accompanied by an adult to register. These measures ensure we are adhering to our Safeguarding policy.
Children will stay with you in the meeting upstairs for 20 minutes of worship before going to their groups, a sign will be displayed to indicate that it’s time for them to go to groups.
Group times start at 10:20 and end between 11:30 and 11:45 am.
Please collect your children when the sign is displayed towards the end of the service in the auditorium, indicating that it’s time to collect them.
