Children and Families

Families with children are very welcome to worship with us at Kings. We have a constantly growing group of children and young people who are very important to us.

We have a number of different groups, catering to a range of ages, which meet during the second half of the Sunday morning meeting. We also have a youth cell which meets on Sunday evenings at 30 Fieldhouse Lane. All these activities are aimed at helping to bring our kids up with a lively and lasting faith in Jesus.

The Kings @ Kids groups (details below) are for children of all ages up to school year 9. The main focus of their activities is during our main worship on Sunday mornings. We encourage parents to worship with their children and help them to join in the songs and prayers of the first part of our gathering. The children then leave for their own group activities. The groups use Scripture Union activity material, have refreshments and pray together.

On the second and fourth Sunday of each month we have 'Kids' Worship' where the children leave morning worship earlier and have their own time of worship together before their usual activities.
