Each Sunday morning during Gathered Worship (10:30-11:50) there is a program of activities for pre-teenage children under the umbrella of Value Builders. Currently Value Builders is separated between a younger group for children up to and including reception (rising 5s) and an older group for school years 1 to 8. Teenagers have separate provision (in Teen Church).
10:30-10:45 the whole church meets together after which the younger children, older children and teens/adults have separate activities, which varies by sunday of the month as follows:
Teenagers meet each Sunday alternating between during the morning service (10:45-11:50) and after the morning service (12:30pm-2:30pm).
We meet in the morning service (10:45-11:50) on the 2nd sunday of each month where activities include games, discussion, bible study, prayer and social justice (e.g. Amnesty International).
On the last Sunday of each month following the morning gathered worship there is a bring and share lunch. Children are welcome when accompanied.
