Children and Youth
We want to nurture a community of young people who know their worth as followers of Jesus Christ.
Children
Kids’ Church is a fun and interactive program (held during the 9.30 family service) in which children aged 5-12 can learn about Jesus through story, games, craft and song. Did we mention, there are lollies?
St John’s children’s ministry is supported by former children in the church community who are committed to sharing God’s love with the young. For more details, contact Mary.
Youth
Besides a program alongside the 9.30 service, there is a youth discussion group for school years 11-12 immediately following our 6pm service. We briefly check in with them, discuss the sermon and readings, and then join the wider community for supper.
St John’s Youth ministry is supported by members of the church who are committed to nurturing young people in their journeys of faith.
Pre-School
To assist families with children who are not old enough to attend Kids' Church, the nearby Robertson Room is available as a cry-room/overflow space. It is air-conditioned, wheelchair/pram accessible, and allows families to watch the service with their children in a less formal setting (joining the rest of the congregation for Communion and morning tea).
(NB Unfortunately this system is currently not operational due to some technical challenges. Hopefully fixed soon! In the meantime, kids are always welcome in the church).
