What happens in Junior Church

We provide a friendly and secure environment where children can meet and develop a lasting Christian spirituality. We teach children the love of our Lord Jesus Christ through fun and thought-provoking, structured lessons.

Children over 3 years old leave the church following the Collect and gather at the nave altar to receive the Bible from Father Nigel. They then follow Junior Church leaders into the parish hall.

Through their worship they learn about the Bible and Christian life participating in stories, art, play, music and prayer. The activities and themes reflect the church calender and prepare the older children for full participation in church worship.

On the second Sunday in the month, children aged 6+ are encouraged to remain in the service.

The children work together in groups:

• Little Fishes 3-5 years
• Big Fishes 6-10 years

Those, aged 7 and over, with a musical disposition may be considered for Junior Choir as vacancies arise.

To enrol your child in Junior Church, please and let us know a little about them first.
