Community Kids

We aim to make all children from 3-12 years old welcome, regardless of ethnicity, disability, background or anything else!

Community kids meet up in the church building every Sunday.

The children will not come upstairs at the beginning of the morning but will start in the service with their parents. 

Parents will then be asked to escort their children upstairs to sign them in after the first few worship songs. 

Parents will need to collect their children at the end of the service has per usual.

In order to keep your children safe during their time with us: – All of our volunteers are DBS checked – Your children will be supervised, and 1-1 situations with an adult will be avoided – We have a safe registration system in place – you sign your children in, and are in control of who can pick them up – Our volunteers also attend safeguarding training, and the church has a written Safegurding Policy in place. If you ever have any safeguarding concerns, or suspicions of abuse that you’d like to report please contact Tory or Jack.

We hope to welcome you to Community Kids soon.
