Creche

The Creche is held during Sunday School term for children up to the age of three years. It allows parents to worship together on a Sunday morning in the knowledge that their infants are being cared for.

Sunday School

The Sunday School, for children aged 3 - 11 years, meets from the first Sunday in September to the first Sunday in June.

The three departments are:

• Beginners Department
  The Beginners Sunday School is designed for pre-school children in the age range 3 - 5 years.  We aim to introduce children to the principles of Christianity and familiarise them with stories from the Bible.  Our activities are geared to the needs and interests of pre-school children.  We use singing, acting, story-telling and craft activities to present ideas to the children.  We aim to provide an atmosphere where children feel comfortable and welcome and where they have fun while they learn.   We will be happy to visit any child at home before they begin Sunday School or make arrangements for parents to settle them in Beginners.
  
• Junior Department
  The Junior Sunday School welcomes all children aged 5 - 7 years (primary 1 - 3).  Our aim is to help them learn about Jesus in a way that is attractive, fun-filled and easy to understand.  At present we are using Seasons of the Spirit material.  The children and their teachers attend the first part of the 10.30am service before moving to the Halls.
  
• The Senior Department
  The Senior Sunday School, for children aged 8 - 11 years (primary 4 - 7), aims to provide teaching of Christian beliefs and values; currently the Scripture basis of our teaching is modelled on the Scripture Union "Salt" material called "Xtream".   The Sunday School provides a period of worship at the beginning and end of Sunday School, with group work in between.  The children attend the first part of the 10.30am Service, sitting with members of the teaching staff before leaving to meet in the Halls.
