Groups and Activities

Children’s groups: Sundays at 9:30 a.m.

There is Sunday School for children aged 5 to 15 during the service at 9:30. All teachers are trained and checked under our child protection policy. The groups are both fun and help children to develop in Christian faith.

Young people: T.A.Y.C (Totally Awesome Youth Club)

Young people from school year 5 upwards meet together each Thursday for a variety of activities including Bible Study, Socials, Fund Raising and planning various events of which they are a part. The usual time of meeting is Wednesday between 6:30 and 8:00pm, but is dependent on the activity planned.
