9+

It is important that children get to know other children and young people within the church, those in different year groups and from different schools. This helps them to grasp the wide variety that there is in God’s big family. A church is one of the few places in our community where children can not only meet children who are outside their circle but also adults from a variety of different backgrounds and walks of life. The team of leaders are trained and supervised and we place a high value on safeguarding our children.

On a Sunday

Open Door

Children and young people of all ages are part of the Open Door service which begins at 10.00am in the historic church and enables everyone to worship God together, by singing, praying, hearing from the Bible and experiencing what it means to be part of God’s big family.

The Grid

Young people aged 9 plus (Years 5 and uopwards) join The Grid halfway through the Open Door service, around 10.25am. This is in the St Paul's Centre. Here they worship and talk with God, read the Bible, chat and chill out – and grow in their love for God. Every third sunday of the month they go to a local Cafe to explore their faith in a different context. The team of leaders are trained and supervised.

Occasional events are arranged for young people in this age group, such BBQs, bowling and sleepovers. The young people are encouraged to invite their friend to these events.
