Outreach Work
Specific details of individual groups can be found using the links at the bottom left.

We believe that the whole of the family should be present for at least a part of our worship services and we usually include a children's talk as a part of the morning service to encourage their participation. However, we recognise that most children benefit from teaching tailored to their age and ability and so we provide a Sunday School during the second half of the morning worship for children of primary school age. The children leave the service during the hymn prior to the sermon and go into the Sunday school. Two classes are provided, one for 3 to 7 year olds and the other for the 7 to 11 year olds.

The teaching format of each class is straight forward, with the main emphasis on teaching the Bible story. This is backed up with an activity/colouring sheet for the younger group and with puzzles and worksheets for the older children.

A creche is available during morning and evening services for parents to take babies and small children at any time if they become unsettled. The service is relayed to speakers in the creche so that parents can benefit from listening to the service. During the morning service, the creche is manned and parents are encouraged to take babies and small children out to the creche when the children go out to Sunday school. Parents can leave their children with the helpers and rejoin the service confident that they can be called to the creche if their child becomes distressed.
