Junior Church
Junior Church is where most of the fun happens on a Sunday morning. However, it is not limited to Sundays as there are outings and activity days at various times during the year.
After two hymns/songs and a short address Junior Church leave the 10am service and go to their own rooms for activity and learning.
The groups are set according to school years so that children stay with their friends as they move through from creche to YPF (Young Peoples Fellowship).
| Group | School year | Approx. age |
| Creche | Babies and toddlers | Under 3 |
| Beginners* | Pre-school & Reception | 3-4+ |
| Primary* | Yrs 1 & 2 | 5-7 |
| Juniors | Yrs 3-6 | 7-11 |
| Laser | Yrs 7 & 8 | 11-13 |
| YPF | Yrs 9-13 | 13-18 |
*Currently Beginners and Primary meet together as the Stargazers group.
About once a month the 10am service is designated as All Age Worship - usually for Parade Services, at major festivals and some weeks during the summer holiday.
On these occasions, the main service is shorter (less than an hour) and the whole church family stay together for the duration.
This means no separate Junior Church except for the creche.
On a few occasions each year Junior Church have a full worship service of their own with upbeat songs, creative prayer and bible based activities.
In July each year there is a week long Holiday Club for 4-11 year olds, with biblical teaching, games, craft and high energy worship.
