Children & Youth
Children
Our 10am worship service is fully intergenerational. This means that all ages are together in worship for the full time, and there is discussion, teaching and activities relevant to all ages. We do not provide a separate Sunday School, it is our belief that faith is best nurtured, and worship best done when all of the community are together.
Youth
Our youth meet together on a Friday to study and play games.
All our programmes are intergenerational
This is what our weekly 10am worship looks like.
Sunday 10am Worship
Intergenerational Worship
At our main 10am service we are exploring what it means to be an intergenerational church. Our goal is to share our faith across the generations; to learn from and inspire each other to be resilient and faithful.
