We believe that children are a vital part of our church and therefore we want them to be actively involved in worship, reading the Bible, prayer, ministry, serving, giving and sharing God’s heart for the poor and those that don't yet know Jesus. 


GROUPS

There are options for children at all of our sites, with groups at our City Centre 10:30am & 5:00pm. South 10:30am and East 3:30pm services.

More details are below.
