‘Train up a child in the way they should go; even when they are old they will not depart from it.’
We believe that it is important to ensure the spiritual growth of our children while providing an engaging space to learn from the Bible about Christian teachings, and how to apply them in daily life. That is the purpose of our Children’s Church.
It takes a village to raise a child, and at Children’s Church the children receive encouragement and support from their teachers, whilst enjoying a safe space to share valuable experiences, such as learning, praying, and listening to each other.
